Hi All:  Good news!  The grasslands at Byers Woods in Ashland have not been mowed.  On the Greater Mohican Audubon Society's monthly bird walk, we found half a dozen singing male BOBOLINKS.  Other species included: Savannah Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlarks, a Grasshopper Sparrow, Yellow-breasted Chat, and Eastern Kingbird nest with young.

Lots of butterflies around too:  Red Admirals, Clouded Sulfers, Cabbage Whites, Silver-spotted Skippers, Monarchs, Black Swallowtails, Meadow Fritillary, and Summer Azures.

For a schedule of GMAS birds walks, see our website at gmasohio.org
