Is it early enough that the birds that ground nest are not nesting yet?

One of my friends is a 'prairie expert'. He has restored many acres of land to prairie. He burned one spot today, and if it is not raining, will burn a large prairie tomorrow.  He is very concerned with ecology and nature, so I am pretty sure he would plan to disturb as little wildlife as possible.

I would think it would be a couple weeks yet before nesting starts.

I asked him your question yesterday. He agrees with you, it is early enough.

I set the neighbors field on fire once and a water way another time. All in the early spring and it was helpful that my neighbor also is the towns fire chief Havent lived that one down in the 18 years I have lived in my area either!!!!!!

I saw some control burning in the area in the last week or so. I have also been told it is not nesting season either.

as with Tom, I also have a few friend who are 'prairie expert, every year As long as i can remember we burn close to a 1000 acres of Prairie in Northern Rock Co on the southside of the Big K, the DNR is quite impressed with the system we have, 10-15  4 wheelers each equipped with 25 gal water tanks with hose and pumps mounted on the back and of course a cooler full of PBR or Mountain Dew    along with 2 Tractors with 200 gal WATER drums with hose and pumps, a few Rakes/ Oil Torches  and 1 book of Matches     Next weekend will be the weekend for us as it has to dry out a little more to make it effective and at the same time i can stop down near the creek and spear a few suckers if the sun cooperates...  Nothing like a huge Spring burn with the hunters of The Otter Creek Militia ....
