Researchers found that grazed plots had more native plants than ungrazed ones and that all three bird species studied -- Western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta), Horned lark (Eremophila alpestris), and Grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), had positive associations with native plant abundance.
RESULTS--We found 221 nests of eight species of birds over two field seasons (Table 1), with Cassin's sparrows, grasshopper sparrows, lark sparrows, and western meadowlarks (Sturnella neglecta) accounting for 84% of all nests monitored.
