Don Torino's latest column for wildnewjersey.tv is about how a simple change is reaping big dividends.

He writes:

Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s All About Birds “Cool Facts” says the Bobolink is one of the world’s most impressive songbird migrants, traveling some 12,500 miles (20,000 kilometers) to and from southern South America every year.

Throughout its lifetime, it may travel the equivalent of 4 or 5 times around the circumference of the earth.

Another really cool fact about the Bobolink is that thanks to the “No-Mow zones” created at Overpeck county Park, Bobolinks now have a place to call home in suburban New Jersey.
