Description

From 20 July to 6 August 1983, we spent 14 days conducting surveys to locate and census Sandhill Cranes on portions of the Nushagak Peninsula in southwestern Alaska. The purpose of these surveys was to gather information regarding Sandhill Crane abundance, distribution, habitat use, and breeding phenology. In addition, we were interested in trying to capture, band and colormark flightless young cranes that could then be resighted during migration, or more particularly, on wintering areas in the Pacific andor Central Flyways.
