DESCRIPTION:Grassland nesting bird species have been in rapid decline over the
 last half century including in New York State. Agricultural landscapes
 (pastures, hayfields) have historically and currently been important to
 grassland nesting birds in the Northeast. To be successful in encouraging
 management for nesting birds, the importance of agricultural income on these
 working landscapes needs to be recognized. For three years, the Bergen Swamp
 Preservation Society and the Finger Lakes Community College have been monitoring
 breeding grassland birds at the George B. Taylor Memorial Wildlife Marsh north
 of Honeoye, NY.  The goal has been to provide input into the management of
 a field that is harvested for hay. An informal public meeting on-site is to
 discuss the results of the project is planned for 5:00 PM, September 12 (rain
 date, September 14). For more information, contact Lynn Braband lynn.braband@bergenswamp.orgGrassland_Birds_Workshop_Flyer_2023_Page_1.jpgGrassland_Birds_Workshop_Flyer_2023_Page_2.jpg
