Mountain plover habitat and population surveys in Alberta, 2001

Description

The purpose of this study was to survey known and prospective mountain plover nesting habitats in southeastern Alberta in order to search for and census breeding birds and to assess habitat potential and suitability. There was an emphasis on the documentation of high potential habitats, and surveying habitats with high suitability. Results support previous assessments that the population is very low and erratic and that suitable habitat is very restricted. In areas where the management priority is Mountain plover conservation, a program of habitat management is recommended, including the implementation of intensive winter/spring grazing and prescribed burns, and population surveys at key times of the year.
