OBJECTIVES We aim to determine if draw down of an impoundment at Necedah NWR creates habitat that is more desirable to whooping cranes after hatching colts and if said habitat can also provide better shelter for young colts leading to higher probability of fledging. We will also determine what impacts, if any, this drawdown will have on other avian species such as sandhill cranes and secretive marsh birds which may act as an indicator species in relation to wetland ecosystem quality (Conway…

Have you ever seen the movie adaptation of a book you liked? If you remember it wasn’t like the original story in many ways.

The small things that are intangible are more important than the things that show. “The Sandhill Cranes Of Nebraska”. Gave me insight to someone 's…
