Bobolinks and other field birds have been struggling to survive, and their habitat has been suffering greatly. The reforestation and agriculture intensity in Vermont have cost these birds a great deal of their habitat. The harvesting time in the fields they do live in causes the birds to lose their nests often times, making the offspring population decrease drastically.
The breeding season is a 9-week period, and if the mowers could be kept away during this time the population would flourish. If awareness was raised about these birds then people may be able to avoid destroying the birds habitat and this problem could be avoided.
