“…Resource use and selection studies of sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) have mainly been conducted in staging areas such as the Platte River in Nebraska, overwintering areas such as the Texas Southern High Plains, Texas Coast, Southern California, and Arizona, or on breeding ranges in Oregon and the Arctic (Krapu et al 1984;Iverson et al 1985;Norling et al 1992;Baker et al 1995;Littlefield 1995;Conring 2016). However, little research has been conducted on greater sandhill cranes (A. c. tabida; hereafter crane[s]), particularly on their summer areas in the Intermountain West (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) (Tacha et al 1992;August 2011;Collins et al 2015). Cranes summering in southwest and south-central Idaho, northeast Nevada, northwest Utah (Ivey and Herziger 2006;August 2011;Collins et al 2015), and likely west-central Idaho (J. M. Knetter, Idaho Department of Fish & Game, personal communication) are associated with the LCRVP.…”
