MAINE PUBLIC • July 27, 2022

Ag Allies is a new field management program in Maine that aims to help protect young nesting birds, such as bobolinks, ground-nesting birds with a remarkable migration that takes them to wintering areas as far away as Paraguay and Argentina.. Birds that nest in grasslands are in decline nationwide, facing challenges including seasonal changes brought by climate change, including earlier harvests of hayfields.
