It is too early to mow where grass land /ground nesting birds might be nesting.
As described in" Hayfield Management and Grassland Bird Conservation" One must wait till last week of July or into August to mow where birds are nesting on ground. I tried to attach the pdf of this booklet here, but Lyris said it was too large to send to our Cayuga Bird List. And I don't know how to make it into a link that could go in a message. This pub was Prepared by Jim Ochterski Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schuyler County, NY SCNY Agriculture Team Natural Resources Specialist 607-535-7161 [email protected] January 2006 If someone sends me instructions on how to make it a link, I will send that to people via this list. I don't have time to send it to individuals who ask me for it. Sorry.

Whatever the method, I want to try to avoid ground nesting season. The redwing blackbirds seemed to have finished. Am I right about this? Will I be safe to get it mowed now? Thanks, Deb Deborah G.
