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?
