So I am in no way an expert or for that matter even knowledgeable on the practices of hay farming, so I ask this question humbly. I presume Bobolinks nest physically on the ground, is it at all possible to raise the mowers a foot or two higher so to potentially pass over the nest and do less harm? I think even then there would be a risk of running over the nests and additionally one would not get as much of the hay as needed but it's a thought I had.

As usual we have multiple nesting pairs of bobolinks however, I'm pretty sure the counts are low. Last year they were higher - I counted up to 12 males at one time. This year the most I've seen at once are 4. Worried.
