Bobolinks

Landowners in North Salem are helping protect the breeding grounds of our area's last remaining bobolinks.

This story, in today's Journal News, expalins what's happening and also quote Peter Kamenstein, a North Salem landowner and a member of Westchester Land Trust's board of directors, who talks about the balancing act between haying his fields and protecting the birds.

One aside: It's a sad day when a newspaper feels it has to tell readers that Emily Dickinson was "a 19th century American poet."
