This Technical Note series on wildlife is designed to provide a literature review and summary of current knowledge pertaining to endangered and other wildlife species occurring on public lauds. We in the Bureau of Land Management have recognized the need for basic wildlife information in order to: do an effective job in land-use planning. Sound-planning must identify the negative aspects as well as the positive benefits of any proposed land management decision or program. It is our hope, too, that this series will also prove useful to others--be they land managers, students, researchers or interested citizens.
