I was reminded by the note about cattle trampling nests that they are very busy
haying at Nisqually. I was very concerned about the effect on grass-nesting
birds, e.g. Savannah Sparrows. When I got home, I quickly checked "Hunn" and
found, to my relief, that Savannahs are done nesting by the first of July.

I'll assume that the Nisqually haying schedule is planned to protect
grass-nesting species. (Does anybody know?)

Can "hay" be verbed? <G>
