A Survey Of Farm-Game Habitat Restoration Programs In Fifteen States, William H. Marshall Jan 1953

A Survey Of Farm-Game Habitat Restoration Programs In Fifteen States, William H. Marshall

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

For at least twenty years the thinking of wildlife managers has been directed toward the importance of habitat in producing surplus game populations for hunting. The decline or disappearance of game populations - often over considerable areas - following changes in habitat brought about by agricultural, urban, or industrial developments demonstrates clearly the effects of the elimination of desirable habitat. Suitable habitat is basic to the survival of wildlife. Many field observations and experiences, as well as specific data from research, validate this conclusion. Where a harvestable surplus of game cannot be maintained because of changes made by man in …


Aerial Survey Township Areas, Willford L. Miller Jan 1953

Aerial Survey Township Areas, Willford L. Miller

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

In the year 1946, two townships of 36 square miles each were selected for experimental work in aerial censusing. The primary objective was to devise a technique for obtaining complete counts of upland game birds on limited areas during the winter months.

The aerial survey proved to be very satisfactory when snow conditions are right. All available cover must be well filled with snow, with very few bare spots in fields or other parts of the area. The birds tend to congregate on such bare places where it is very difficult to see them from the plane.

In 1951 a …


The Birds Of Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, Canada, J. Dewey Soper Jan 1953

The Birds Of Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, Canada, J. Dewey Soper

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

Riding Mountain National Park is located in southwestern Manitoba within easy reach of important centres of population. From park headquarters at Wasagaming, it is only 140 miles southeast to Winnipeg, 57 miles south to Brandon, 35 miles north to Dauphin, and 102 miles to the International Boundary. Most of the surrounding country is devoted to agriculture.

The total park area approximates 1,148 square miles. Except for restricted tourist areas, it remains in a primitive condition, with unspoiled forests, prairies, streams, and lakes.

Up to the time the area was set aside as a park in 1929, comparatively little was known …


To Rural And Star Route Carriers, Levi L. Mohler Jan 1953

To Rural And Star Route Carriers, Levi L. Mohler

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

Summary of your 1953 Winter Records

As we have mentioned before, an important item from the winter counts is the ratio of cock pheasants to hen pheasants after the season has ended. Your winter records showed 88 cocks per 100 hens for the state as a whole. In extreme southeastern Nebraska (where pheasants are scarce), and for central and western Nebraska, you recorded more cocks than hens. For most of the eastern third of the state (where most of the pheasant hunting is done) you recorded two cocks for every three hens. This reflects the removal of more cocks by …


Measuring Waterfowl Habitat- Population Changes From Aerial Photos, Harvey W. Miller Jan 1953

Measuring Waterfowl Habitat- Population Changes From Aerial Photos, Harvey W. Miller

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

A survey was conducted in 1953 to determine the feasibility of using aerial photography to measure the trends in available waterfowl habitat in the Nebraska Sandhills. This pilot survey included 96 one-square-mile sections systematically distributed over the area to give a 0.49 percent sampling rate.

The basic waterfo\o1l habitat types apparent on the aerial photos of these sections were identified and measured with a planimeter and map measure. These ascertained totals were then projected to obtain the estimated total of each habitat type in the study area.

A statistical analysis of the survey revealed that it would be necessary to …

Waterfowl Breeding Ground Survey, 1952 In Nebraska, Harvey W. Miller Jan 1952

Waterfowl Breeding Ground Survey, 1952 In Nebraska, Harvey W. Miller

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

The Nebraska Breeding Ground Survey has been conducted for the fifth consecutive year. This survey is aimed at providing indicators to the waterfowl population through measuring the seasonal and year b,y year trends in breeding numbers and production success. The survey recognizes the sandhill region as the most important waterfowl-producing area of Nebraska and therefore, studies have been largely concentrated there.

Audio Census Of Some Wisconsin Game Birds, Donald R. Thompson, Charles W. Lemke Jan 1952

Audio Census Of Some Wisconsin Game Birds, Donald R. Thompson, Charles W. Lemke

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

Audio censuses of Wisconsin game birds were commenced in 1948, and now include the bobwhite quail, the pheasant and the ruffed grouse, in the order in which censuses were introduced.

Briefly, audio censuses are based on the characteristic sounds given by the male of the species concerned during the breeding season. An observer strategically located at a station, or stations in the field tallies the number of individuals calling, and/or the number of calls heard during a given time period.

In Wisconsin, only the transect method is used, with the observer following a given route and making listening stops of …
