Therefore, species that prefer sparse vegetation (e.g., horned lark) would have increased nest success following fire while species that prefer dense vegetation (e.g., Cassin's sparrow) would have decreased nest success.

Due to sample sizes of nests, we could only justify comparing Mayfield nest success rates for Cassin's sparrow, grasshopper sparrow, and lark sparrow.

Cassin's sparrow and lark sparrow nests were built in areas with less woody vegetation on burned plots, consistent with fires removing woody debris.

Nesting ecology of grassland birds following a wildfire in the southern Great Plains

Cassin's sparrow breeding habitat consists of a shrub component which may include Artemesia sp., mesquite (Prosopis sp.), hackberry (Celtis spp.), rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus sp.), and oak (Quercus spp.) (Ruth, 2000).

2008, we used territory mapping with song playback to estimate area of Cassin's sparrow breeding territories (Bibby et al., 2000; Budnik et al., 2000).

We chose 20 m based on the average size of the Cassin's sparrow territories.

Researchers at the Colorado Bird Observatory near Denver, meanwhile, have demonstrated that shortgrass prairie birds also require a mix of habitats: mountain plovers nest on bare ground; horned larks and McCown's longspurs are associated with sparse grass in heavily grazed areas; vesper sparrows like dense grass but height does not matter; western meadowlarks prefer both tall forbs and tall dense grass; and Cassin's sparrows and lark buntings are found in shrubby areas.

Twilight of America's grasslands

Grasshopper sparrow (t = 5.3999), Cassin's sparrow (t = 2.7747), and red-winged blackbird (t = 2.27082) clutch sizes were lower in 1989.

Nest densities among CRP cover types differed in 1988 for Cassin's sparrows (Aimophila cassinii) (F = 4.33, df = 9, P = 0.0048) (Table 1).

Nongame bird nesting on CRP lands in the Texas Southern High Plains

The majority of nests of Cassin's sparrow (76%) and meadowlarks (90%) were in little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium; Smythe, 2006).

Equal numbers of nests of residents (lesser prairie-chicken, meadowlark) were found in both years, in contrast to the more numerous nests of migrants (Cassin's sparrow, mourning dove) found in 2005 than 2004.
