I guess I am wrong then about Bobolinks. That's good! I am just not seeing
or hearing them across from the Belle Isle Marsh like I once was. However,
my observations are casual, while out exercising the dog on the tracks. It
was good habitat for them where I used to see them, and the fields are not
mowed anymore in many places. Strangely, I don't manage to visit Belle Isle
very often, what with spring-summer being the most hectic at work. Glad to
read there are still some!

Subject: RE: [NatureNS] Belle Isle and Bobolinks
I was there twice this year and saw 20 - 22 Bobolinks (almost all males)
each time. Last year I saw most of them in the center field but this year
I'm seeing them mainly in the eastern side. Last year I was disheartened to
see center field was cut before the Bobolink fledged so that is probably why
there are not many in the center filed this year.
I've been seeing small numbers of both teal and Rick Whitman and I had 15
Northern Shoveler there on Jun 14.

Hi Paul and all:
Normally when I visit there I see lots of bobolinks. I don't know if it was
the time of day or what, but I never heard or saw any bobolinks at all on my
visit on the past Sunday. I would be most interested in knowing if any
others who have visited there saw normal numbers for bobolinks this year.
Water levels within the marsh were very high. Therefore, higher amounts of
water I would assume could definitely affect nesting and maybe the resident
bobolinks had left due to nesting failure. All comments are most welcome.
I hope that I'm wrong.
Noticeably missing from the French Basin Trail and Belleisle were
green-winged and blue-winged teal and northern shovelers. Comments on this
would be welcome also.
Sincerely,
James

Subject: [NatureNS] Belle Isle and Bobolinks
Hi All
A few years ago there was a major scheme afoot to make
Belle Isle more suitable for Bobolinks.
Unfortunately as much as I would like it is difficult for me to visit there.
and I never see any more press reports about it.
Does anyone know how the scheme worked out? Folks
who visit there could report on the numbers they see or an offical
report would be great.
Enjoy Canada Day!
Paul
