Abstract: | Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) nesting use of soil bank land was observed on a 3,719-acre dryland study area in northern Utah during 1964 and 1965. A projected 85 percent of all successful nests were produced on 43 percent of the area retired under the Conservation Reserve Program of the Soil Bank. Absence of nests both years on sample plots in grainfields suggests low nesting use of this type which, together with summer fallow, comprised 41 percent of the area. Recommendations for future land retirement programs in similar dryland situations include early developing plant species and provision for residual cover carry-over for early nesting, long-term contracts, and emphasis within established pheasant range. |
