Nest Update

Thus far I have located five lark sparrow nests at Sand Prairie Conservation Area.  Although I have seen eggs in four of them, none of them have successfully fledged.  Two experienced predation while a third appears to have abandon, as the eggs have not hatched in over three weeks and are now covered in sand.  I am still holding out hope for a nest that I found in the 40 hectare portion of the reserve.  There is also another pair of birds in suitable habitat in the unburned prairie that have likely built nest already.  I plan on visiting the area tomorrow evening and will note whether the adult birds are bringing food to any young.
