Coccidiosis of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) wintering in New Mexico.
The feces of 212 sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) collected in central New Mexico from October 1982 to January 1983 and from October 1983 to January 1984 were examined to determine the prevalence of coccidial oocysts. One hundred forty-five granulomatous nodules from the viscera of 64 cranes and samples of lung, small intestine, and large intestine from 58 birds were examined by light and tran...
متن کاملNatural Fertility in Whooping Cranes and Mississippi Sandhill Cranes at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center
The first fertile whooping crane (Grus americana; WC) egg produced through natural breeding at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (patuxent) was laid in 1991. Prior to that time, all fertile whooping crane eggs were the result of artificial insemination. Since 1991, eight different whooping crane pairs at Patuxent have produced fertile eggs through natural breeding. Mean fertility averages over ...
متن کاملHaemosporida prevalence and diversity are similar in endangered wild whooping cranes (Grus americana) and sympatric sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis)
The population growth of endangered whooping cranes (Grus americana) is not consistent with species recovery goals, and the impact of parasite infection on whooping crane populations is largely unknown. Disease ecology and epidemiology research of endangered species is often hindered by limited ability to conduct invasive sampling on the target taxa. Accordingly, we hypothesized that sandhill c...

متن کاملObservations on Behavior of Sandhill Cranes
T HE Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis) nests on the low, wet coastal tundra near the mouth of the McConnell River (60” 50’ N, 94” 25’ W) , on the western shore of Hudson Bay. During studies of geese and jaegers we have made many casual observations of cranes. Although adult cranes are conspicuous due to their large size and loud calls, the nests and young are very difficult to locate. Since the ...
