Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership ¿ Tracking and Monitoring

 

Monitoring is a critical function in determining the survival of Whooping Cranes at various life stages in the reintroduced eastern migratory population. This includes monitoring habitat use, pairing, nesting and breeding activity during the spring, summer and fall to help evaluate the effectiveness of the program and opportunities for improvement. The proposed project consists of 1. Manage and monitor each project, program, sub-award, function and or activity supported by this award in accordance with 43 Code of Federal Regulations 12.951. 2. Monitor all released cranes in this population year-round using conventional radio transmitters and satellite telemetry equipment. This includes monitoring habitat use, pairing, nesting and breeding activity during the spring, summer and fall to help evaluate the effectiveness of the program and opportunities for improvement. 3. Manage data on survival, movements and behavior in the project database. 4. Complete the habitat use analysis of whooping crane monitoring data to determine home range size, determine nesting territory characteristics, and develop predictive model of suitable whooping crane breeding habitats in Wisconsin.
