study area. If the grounds per square mile are calculated only for the 

 portion of the study area west of the 357000 ME mercator line, 

 the ground density rises to 0.32 grounds per square mile. It is 

 apparent that the western half of the study area is excellent 

 sharp-tail habitat. Only one brood was observed, in I98I. A 

 hen was in the brush along the roadside and a chick was seen 

 running across the road. The cover was too thick to locate any 

 more chicks, if there were in fact any more.
