Dolichonyx oryzivorus
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Icteridae (Troupials and Allies)
This handsome blackbird depends on unmowed pastures for nesting. Early mowing destroys nests, which are usually within the interior of fields, so mowing around the periphery while leaving the interior intact for a few weeks longer can help protect them.
