Hi all:  On the Greater Mohican Audubon Society's monthly bird walk at Byer's Woods in Ashland this morning, we scouted for our upcoming Bobolink Seminar.  THE BOBOLINKS ARE BACK.

Please join the Greater Mohican Audubon Society (GMAS) for an exciting opportunity to see Bobolinks and other grassland birds and visit a unique habitat created in mid-Ohio.  Byers Wood incorporates woods, prairie grasses, a butterfly garden, ponds, and the outstanding example of Ashland County's creative use of a past landfill site.
     
Optional birding starts the day, followed by a presentation next door at the Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center, 1783 State Route 60, Ashland, Ohio 44805.  OOS President and keynote speaker, Jim McCormac, will present a power-point on grassland birds.  An overview of the prairie and butterfly garden will be given by Dr. Dick Stoffer of Ashland College.   Learn how Ashland took a one-time landfill and created an oasis for wildlife.  In the afternoon, we will break into small groups suitable for searching out these grassland birds.  
     

Lunch and guided field trips to see Bobolinks and other grassland birds are included in the registration price of $25.00.  See  http://www.gmasohio.org/bobolinks.html  for details and a downloadable registration.
