Progress RepOrt 3- March 4, 2008 Phase II- Whooping Crane Data Analysis Reporting to: Executive Directors Office, the Platte River Implementation Recovery Program Reported by: Lisa Fotherby, Reclamation, Technical Service Center, Sedimentation and River Hydraulics Group Start Date: January 18, 2008 Project Completion Date: March 19, 2008 (40 warking days after receipt of first payment) Work Accomplished through February 29, 2008 Contract Tasks Work Items Whooping Crane Sitings 10 56 2 3 10 75 6% 42% 44% 46% 52% 100% 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 model model model model model model 1.

Prepare report summarizing methods The primary focus of this reporting period was initial processing of all transect data, the final processing of the 2002 data, the review of base cross sections used in all models, and the development of output processing methods. Completing the 2001 HECRAS model provided a test of our approach to analyzing Whooping Crane hydraulic data. In the second week we found the geometry of some of the interpolated cross sections, although fine for analysis of higher flows and the movement of pulses, was not adequate for the analyses required under Task 3.
