I counted about 18 bobolinks at Frohring Meadows this morning.  11
Males.

The meadows have recently been cut, and the birds are concentrated in
the
remaining uncut section.  I didn't have a scope, and couldn't tell if
there were
any immature birds.

Also saw six Savannah sparrows along the unpaved trail. They are
reliably
present along the paths, by the marsh and in the fields.

Does anyone have any information on the park's mowing schedule, and
whether
the bobolinks are a consideration in the timing?
