As for most grassland birds, the primary threats are habitat loss and degradation. The preferred nesting habitat of the sparrow is mixed-grass habitats including prairie, hayfields, pastures, and grassy fallow fields. The species nests on or near the ground in open-cup nests, and its nest is usually associated with some plant cover.
