Hi All,
Knowing little about either Bobolinks or modern haying methods this =
is a long shot, but I wonder if making the first cut before Bobolinks =
select nest sites and leaving well spaced lanceolate areas uncut (of =
suitable size whatever that is and marked by two end posts so the same =
sites would be used year after year) until nesting is finished would =
enable coexistence. It might be possible to have both crops while =
wasting perhaps <1% of the hay.
This assumes, perhaps incorrectly, that they would not be unduly =
disturbed by nearby haying equipment.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

I'm not ready to concede that Rick. Zero potential is seeing hay =

both of which I've seen plenty of.=20
=20
It all depends on how early the first cut was. If it was early enough =
the hay may have grown sufficiently for Bobolinks to establish =
territories and nest. If this is the case it is the timing of the second =
cut that will determine if any Bobolinks succeed.
=20
Regarding the later dates for Bobolink nesting that you mention, there =
is no question that some Bobolinks will probably still be nesting when a =
cut is made. However, the July date I mentioned in my earlier email was =
chosen to allow the farmer to get usable hay from his cut and still =
allow a large majority of nests to have fledged their young. If he will =
only accept the maximum protein content in his hay and he cannot =
compromise then there will be a problem.
=20
All the best,
