Bobolinks are grassland birds that are experiencing loss of habitat. The Heber Valley fields, where they love
to nest in Utah, won't be there long as home-building sweeps up all the free land. Bobolinks require
high grasses that remain uncut until their young leave the nest. © Carol Davis, 6-29-2004
