To learn more about the loss of grassland bird nesting habitat in Ontario, we are assessing grassland conversion based on existing land cover data. We also conducted field research to provide stewardship information to farmers and evaluate light spring grazing as a conservation strategy for nesting Bobolinks.

We studied three species of grassland birds that nest in the Grey Dufferin Community Pasture to learn about habitat use and the impacts of grazing during the nesting season.
