On this trip we will explore Bartel Grassland looking for returning prairie breeding species such as Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark, and several species of sparrows. Late April has also been a great time to find Smith's Longspur at this location, and this species will be a big target on this trip. The uneven terrain we will be walking on is often very wet/muddy, so a good pair of rain boots is a must!
