<br />s~+rasr. avsrrvw sTtmt~s <br />Small mamsial species c~osition, abundance, and habitat association were <br />determined by live trap censusis~g conducted during October, 1979.(see <br />Results, page 27), three 1QOm transects were placed in representative areas <br />of each of the following vegetation types on the study area. <br />1. Upland sagebrush <br />2. Grassland pasture <br />An additional transect was established in a small riparian area on the north- <br />east edge of the study area (Map 11-1, ~~ ~' R). Tco Sheeran live traps <br />were placed at each Zlhn intetval along each transect. Traps were baited with <br />a peanut butter, cracked corn, rolled oats,~bacon fat mixture and checked <br />for four consecutive nights. All traps were provided with dacron-fiber <br />batting to avoid animal loss due to hypothermia. All individuals captured <br />were toe-clipped and recorded according to species, sex, age (juveni.le or <br />adult), reproductive status (active or inactive), and Location and then <br />released. <br />AVIE'AVNA S2L'DIES <br />four different cargonents of the avifauna were studied: <br />1. passerine birds <br />2, Raptorial birds <br />3. Uplazr3 game birds <br />4, Waterfowl <br />Four aifferent surveys were undertaken to determine the presence, abundance <br />a~ production of avifauna on the study area: <br /> <br />L.
