The fate of multiple pairs of grassland birds nesting in a field at County Line Orchard in Hobart that serves as an overflow parking in the fall and was slated for haying this month erupted into a social media controversy and prompted the orchard to consider delaying the work until after nesting season.
According to Wysocki’s post, “For many years grassland birds have attempted to nest at the County Line Orchard overflow parking lot in Hobart in Northwest Indiana. Last week 12 pairs of nesting kickcissels, 6 pairs of nesting bobolinks and 4 pairs of nesting Savannah sparrows were reported on the site.”
“Unfortunately, for the last few years the field parking lot has been mowed in the middle of breeding season” the post continues, alleging that the mowing likely kills many of the birds trying to nest and the fledglings. Adam Delucenay, North Grassland Biologist with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, said Friday that he did receive some calls from the public about the nesting birds and had talked to a representative from County Line Orchard about the situation.
