Thanks to Jim McCormac for posting about the excellent short paper by Cheryl Dykstra et al. in the Wilson. I'd like to add that there is another paper in the same issue, about an area Jim and many other Ohio birders know well, The Wilds, and I'm sure Jim would have been happy to mention it as well.

Unfortunately I don't have a way to link anyone to:

Return rates of breeding Henslow's Sparrows on mowed versus unmowed areas on a reclaimed surface mine. Authors: Danny Ingold, James Dooley, and Nicole Cavender

It's great to see such good research being done here in the Buckeye state!

"...ecologists should speak out more strongly against further
taming and simplification of Earth's ecosystems which, if
carefully tended, might yet produce intelligent life."
