The bobolink is already facing HABITAT LOSS and breeding grounds, with wind turbine factories, existing and proposed, as far as Manitoulin Island, Amherst, Ostrander Point, and the entire Great Lakes Region is a flyway.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Migratory Bird Program initiated a Focal Species strategy for migratory birds to better measure its success in achieving its bird conservation priorities and mandates. The Focal Species strategy involves campaigns for selected species to provide explicit, strategic, and adaptive sets of conservation actions required to return the species to healthy and sustainable levels.
