Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Baird's Sparrow Status Assessment and Conservation Plan
Habitat loss, mainly through the conversion of native prairie and grasslands to agriculture continues to be the primary threat to Baird's Sparrow populations. Modern agriculture practices, such as haying, mowing, and plowing can result in reproductive failures. High intensity and long duration grazing can also negatively affect Baird's Sparrow populations. The expansion of exotic vegetation in the grasslands and increasing predation and parasitism rates are also threats to Baird's Sparrow populations.
