| For example, the grassland nesting birds of highest management concern based on our ranks were the Henslow's sparrow, dickcissel, and upland sandpiper. |

| Model-selection results indicated that grasshopper sparrow and dickcissel densities were influenced by grassland type, with higher densities in parcels dominated by warm-season grasses. |
| The dickcissel is a wanderer, appearing in large numbers at a breeding ground one year and totally absent the next. |
