The NY breeding season table in the BBA handbook says 1-2 broods for Eastern Meadowlark, but gives no indication of how common second broods might be.
I suppose you could watch the field closely for evidence of a second nesting, but if your goal is to win the cooperation of farmers, then it might be much wiser to settle for having delayed just long enough to see the first brood fledged, and still get a good first cutting. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
