Abstract:
At one time Bachman's sparrow ranged as far north as Pennsylvania and as far west as Illinois. Now it has disappeared from the Midwest and its northern range ends in North Carolina. It is listed as Special Concern in the state and may make the federal endangered species list if the decline continues. Marcus discusses reasons for the decline. It is the one bird in the state that is most dependent on prescribed burning on public and private lands.
