I agree, especially since you said "large scale." Mr. Sykes addressed that issue in his last column in the Co-op magazine. He essentially said that they knew that they were destroying nests, but the improvement in habitat was worth the sacrifice..I have done May burns on blocks of less than 100 acres and thought it was worth it. But there has to be a size at which the sacrifice is too much. Got an opinion on what that might be?[/quote]

It's hard to say what that acreage would be. To me, it would be a case by case basis. For instance, I think even the 100 acres or less burns can be counterproductive if the surrounding habitat isn't good for nesting or brood rearing.
