Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Size of Acreage needed to host ground nesting birds?
Hello Bird Brains! 😁

I recently finished a class about meadow restoration. The instructor made a
statement about ground nesting birds that I had not heard before. It goes
like this: "If you don't have acreage of 18 or more acres, you don't need
to be concerned about disturbing ground nesting birds while conducting
restoration activities (ie. mowing)." I was unable to ask for a study
reference before the class ended. Is there anyone out there who can verify
the instructor's statement? OR Do you know where I might find information
that will verify the amount of undisturbed meadow acreage that ground
nesting birds require to establish a nesting site?
