Average per Active Ground 



the greatest densities of pheasants. Along a 10 mile route through 

 the northwest portion of the study area, an average of 30.4 crows 

 per two minute stops were recorded in the spring of 198O. This 

 index showed a substantial reduction to 17.0 calls per stop 

 in 1981. This was in contrast to the slight increase in pheasant 

 density reported for lower Rosebud Creek, 17.8 calls per stop in 

 1980 to 18.6 in 1981 (Knapp et al. 198I). 



A five mile segment of Greenleaf Creek saw a rise in pheasant 

 density from 2.0 calls per stop in 198O to 6.2 calls per stop in 

 1981. Greenleaf Creek does not have the cover and diversity of 

 vegetation types found along Rosebud Creek, thus it is poorer 

 pheasant habitat. 



Gray Partridge 



A single group of gray partridge was observed south of Rosebud Creek 

 in the northwest portion of the study area (Figure 53). The lack 

 of large expanses of grain fields limits gray cartridge numbers on 

 the study area.
