<br />land is primarily wet meadow and similar brushland. Appendix A presents a table <br /> <br /> <br />habitat, and 247 acres of brushland dominated by greasewood. Adjacent Refuge <br /> <br />outlining current and potential use of these lands under future management. <br /> <br />The land is presently used for hay and cattle production. Wet-meadow land is <br /> <br />cut for hay, which provides winter feed for the Lillpop cattle operation. <br /> <br />Grazing of wet meadows and other cover types occur during the fall, winter, and <br /> <br />spring months. <br /> <br />Management of the Lillpop property as part of the Refuge will reduce the amount <br /> <br />of livestock grazing and hay harvested, thus improving waterfowl and other <br /> <br />wildlife habitat. <br /> <br />2. Wildlife. The Refuge is managed to provide suitable resting and <br /> <br /> <br />nesting habitat for waterfowl and resident upland game and to provide food and <br /> <br />protection for waterfowl, including sandhill and whooping cranes. A total of <br /> <br />190 different bird species and over 50 species of mammals have been recorded for <br /> <br />the Refuge area. A majority of these species could be present on the Lillpop <br /> <br />property. <br /> <br />The Lillpop tract has all the habitat quality of land presently in ownership of <br /> <br />the Refuge. <br /> <br />At present, the Lillpop acreage is most heavily used by waterfowl during fall <br /> <br />months when many of the Refuge birds use this land and the river as a refuge <br /> <br />from hunting pressure. As many as 700 geese and 2,000 to 3,000 ducks will use <br /> <br />the Lillpop tract on a daily basis and the contiguous Refuge lands during fall <br /> <br />hunting seasons. <br /> <br /> <br />~~.3~. <br />~00'~~ <br /> <br />1II-6 <br /> <br />I . <br />
