Summary

These data were developed to support an effort to characterize migration strategies in the U.S. Great Plains and Canadian Prairies and to explore sources of heterogeneity in their migration strategy, including space use, timing, and performance. Data come from locations and other information related to 58 marked Whooping Cranes (Grus americana) from 2010–2016. These data represent basic information about space use during migrations of marked whooping cranes, including intensity of use and fidelity.

Purpose

Characterize migration strategies of Whooping Cranes and determine levels and sources of heterogeneity in aspects of migration strategy including space use, timing, and performance metrics. We also explored how cranes allocated time and energy during migration by comparing distances moved daily and time spent at stopover sites.
