The breeding season for the Talon Winery Henlow’s Sparrows has come to an end.
Talon Winery has been very open to holding off mowing in the lot of grassland
we had marked off to allow them to successfully breed. A couple of weeks ago I
had visited to find an adult carrying food and continually dropping in to an
area with a presumed nest. This would seem to be a second brood for the
location. They had been due to cut the grass the following week but thanks to
the intervention of Katey Buster they agreed to hold off mowing until a couple
of days ago in the hopes of the birds fledging. They let us know when they were
to mow so a few of us went out to watch the proceedings. We saw two Henslow’s
fly from the area. One of those was photographed revealing it to be a fledgling
bird thus showing that Talon’s delay in mowing led to a successful second brood
for these birds. The importance of this is twofold; firstly that mowing large
pastures and preserving a small acreage for Henslow’s Sparrows does not
dissuade them from coming back in subsequent years (this process was first used
last year); Secondly, that the season in Kentucky is long enough for
double-brooding for Henslow’s Sparrow’s (one wonders if, similar to Sedge
Wrens, late breeding of more northerly birds that relocate here could occur).
