PHIL DICKINSON/Special Correspondent
About a month ago, Gene Schepker, a local birder, found nearly three dozen Bobolinks in a clover field between U.S. 52 and the new Research Parkway in downtown Winston-Salem.
Bobolinks are a grassland bird species that we don’t usually see in Winston-Salem.
The next day, an even less common bird for our area was discovered flying around with these birds — a dickcissel.
Bobolink? Dickcissel? These are strange names for birds. Even friends of mine who watch birds asked me, what on earth is a dickcissel?
