Bobolinks were also easy to see along one stretch of Pine Creek Road north of US 20. (Pine Creek Road leaves US 20 about 5 miles north of Buchanan.) Proceeding from the north (from the junction with the Van Drewsey Road), start looking for Bobolinks about 1 mile past the large green mailbox. If proceeding from the south, start looking when you see wet meadows.
