GREATER SANDHILL CRANE PRODUCTIVITY ON PRIVATELY OWNED WETLANDS IN EASTERN OREGON

Abstract

Except at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, data on the nesting and recruitment of the Greater Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis tabida) in eastern Oregon have not been documented. The objective of this paper is to assess the reproductive performance of the Central Valley population, which is classified as sensitive by the state of Oregon, on privately owned wetlands.
