Study Progress Report 2009 –2013: Monitoring and Research on Greater Sage-Grouse Populations in the Virginia Mountains of Northwestern Nevada Peter S. Coates, Kristy B. Howe, Katie M. Andrle, Michelle L. Fearon, David J. Delehanty, and Michael L. Casazza, U. S. Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center 1.0 Abstract Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse) have recently been designated as a candidate species under the Endangered Species Act; however, in the Great Basin, relationships between habitat selection and population vital rates of sage grouse are not well-understood. The growing development of renewable energy infrastructure within areas inhabited by sage-grouse is thought to change predator composition and alter vegetation communities. For example, common raven (Corvus corax) populations, a synanthropic sage-grouse nest predator, are increasing throughout the western United States as transmission lines and other tall structures used for nesting and perching become more prevalent across the landscape. Our study area, the Virginia Mountains of northwestern Nevada, is a potential site for future wind and solar energy developments. We are investigating the effects of energy development on this sage-grouse population by employing a before-after-control-impact study design. Specifically, we have collected baseline data on space-use, habitat selection, and 2

Page 15: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

population vital rates during the nesting and brood-rearing period over five years for 136 female and 13 male sage-grouse. In addition, we have collected videography at nest sites (n = 39) and conducted avian predator surveys (n = 1,511) to identify sage-grouse nest predators common to this study site. We plan to continue monitoring this population in order to assess in the impacts of energy development on sage-grouse and predator demographics. The results reported here are preliminary and further data is required before conclusions can be drawn from this population of sage-grouse.

2.0 Background The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), Idaho State University (ISU), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service collaborated on an intensive effort to monitor a population of sage-grouse in the Virginia Mountains of northwestern Nevada. A portion of the study area is scheduled for development of wind energy and associated transmission infrastructure. Prior to this study, relatively little information was known regarding sage-grouse habitat and predator communities within this area, and these factors may be influenced by anthropogenic-induced changes to the environment. Anthropogenic alterations to the landscape, such as habitat loss and fragmentation resulting from energy exploration and infrastructure development, urbanization and agricultural conversion are primary threats to sage-grouse populations (Connelly and others, 2000). Furthermore, common raven (Corvus corax; hereafter raven) populations, a synanthropic sage-grouse nest predator, are increasing throughout the western United States (Sauer and others, 2011) as transmission lines and other tall structures used for nesting and perching (Steenhof and others, 1993; Knight and Kawashima 1993) become more prevalent across the landscape. Therefore, we initiated a before-after-control-impact (BACI) study design to investigate potential effects of energy development on sage-grouse population vital rates and habitat selection, as well as effects on predator community composition. 3

The purpose of this ongoing investigation is to collect and interpret empirical baseline data on space-use, habitat selection, and sage-grouse population vital rates during the nesting and brood-rearing period before construction of energy infrastructure, and to then continue to monitor this population after construction to identify the impacts of energy development on sage-grouse demographics. In addition, we are collecting data on predator composition through videography of sage-grouse nests and avian predator surveys. This progress report contains summary data and findings from 2009 through 2013, which represent a portion of the preconstruction years of this ongoing long-term investigation. This progress report presents findings on annual adult survival, nest survival, brood survival, and space use of sage-grouse during the reproductive period. Also presented are analyses which identify habitat characteristics selected by sage-grouse and factors that may influence nest and brood survival. Our report also describes some of our future planned efforts related to this study with respect to monitoring and data analyses.

3.0 Study Area This ongoing study is being conducted within a topographically-complex sagebrush-steppe ecosystem in the Virginia Mountains of northwestern Nevada, USA. The study area encompasses approximately 690.7 km² with elevations ranging from 1218–2683 m. Mean annual precipitation is 187.7 mm and temperatures range from 6.8–18.2° C (Western Regional Climate Center). The U. S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers the majority of land, 588 km² in the study area, with the remaining portion owned privately (95 km²). The Pyramid Lake Reservation borders the eastern portion of the Virginia Mountains and California borders the west. A sage-grouse hunting season existed in the study area until 2005, when it was discontinued by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) due to declining sage-grouse numbers in the region. There are only two sage-grouse leks known to be active within the Virginia Mountains. One lek was located at Sheep Springs, near Fish 4

Springs Ranch on the north slope of the Virginia Mountains. The other lek was located approximately 14 kilometers (km) to the southeast on Spanish Flat, near Tule Peak. Dominant plant communities consist of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) steppe at lower elevations and mountain shrub at higher elevations. Overstory at lower elevations is primarily characterized by big sagebrush (A. tridentata spp.). Other shrub cover consists of Bailey’s greasewood (Sarcobatus baileyi), horsebrush (Tetradymia sp.), and a variety of rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus and Ericameria spp.). Overstory of mountain shrub communities is characterized by big sagebrush and a variety of mountain shrubs, including Saskatoon serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia), snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), and antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata). Dominant forbs consist of woolly mules ear (Wyethia mollis), lupine (lupines spp.), and arrowleaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata). Singleleaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla) and Utah Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) woodlands occur throughout the study area. Grasses include bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum), crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum), Great Basin Wild Rye (Elymus cinereus), needle-and-thread grass (Hesperostipa comata) and Indian ricegrass (Achnatherum hymenoides). A portion of the study area (84.8 km2) burned during a wildfire in 1999, a fire. Although cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) occurs throughout the study area, this invasive grass is most prevalent in the burned areas.

4.0 Methods 4.1 Lek Surveys Lek counts were conducted according to the USGS lek survey protocol (USGS 2012). Leks were counted at least four times during the spring (March – May). The four counts for each lek were equally spaced in time and overlapped peak male attendance. Lek counts were conducted between 30 minutes before sunrise and 1.5 hours after sunrise. Binoculars and spotting scopes were used to count sage-grouse from a suitable viewing location that afforded a view of the entire lek. A total of three counts 5

Page 19: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

63

were conducted at 10-min intervals, and the highest count was reported for each survey. For some leks, flushing was necessary to count individuals because the vegetation cover was too dense to adequately detect the birds. Flushing was always preceded by a scanning count, as described above. 4.2 Capturing and Handling Sage-Grouse We closely followed USGS protocol for capturing and handling sage-grouse (USGS 2012). During 2008–2013, we captured sage-grouse during the spring (March – May), summer (June – July), and fall (September) months. We located sage-grouse after sunset and before sunrise with spotlights and captured them with long-handled nets and hand-held net launching devices (SuperTalon®, Advanced Weapons Technology, La Quinta, CA). Sage-grouse were equipped with battery powered necklace-style Very High Frequency (VHF) transmitters (<3% body mass, 1 – 1.8 kg, Schroeder and others, 1999; Advanced Telemetry Systems, Isanti, Minnesota) with mortality sensors. Captured sage-grouse were weighed and multiple morphometric measurements, including tarsus and culmen length, were recorded to calculate a body condition index. Blood was extracted from the brachial vein for DNA analyses. Age classification was based on plumage characteristics of the 9th and 10th

primaries (Ammann 1944). Sage-grouse were classified as juvenile (pre-breeding), yearling (first year breeding), or adult (>1 breeding year). Plumage photographs (both extended wings, retrices, breast, and head profile) were taken for each sage-grouse. Sage-grouse were processed within 30 minutes of capture and released at their capture location. 4.3 Monitoring Sage-Grouse We conducted intensive on-the-ground monitoring of sage-grouse movement, survivorship, and reproduction following release during 2009–2013. All telemetry procedures were conducted according to the USGS sage-grouse VHF telemetry protocol (USGS 2012). We used a three-element Yagi antenna 6

Page 20: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

64

(Advanced Telemetry Systems Inc., Isanti, MN) and portable receiver (Communication Specialist Inc., Orange, CA) to track radio-marked sage-grouse. We minimized relocation error by circling each grouse at a radius of 30 – 50 m. After determining the location of the bird being tracked, we approximated the distance and recorded the azimuth from the observer’s location (recorded using GPS) to estimate the location coordinates (Universal Transverse Mercator) of the bird. Throughout the nesting and brood-rearing period, we attempted to locate female sage-grouse at least twice per week. Aerial fixed-wing telemetry flights were conducted to locate sage-grouse that could not otherwise be located from the ground. Additional flights were conducted after summer field work was complete to identify fall and winter use areas and determine seasonal mortality rates. We estimated utilization distributions (UDs; Kernohan and others, 2001), which interpolate animal use of space across unknown areas based on the distribution and density of known location telemetry data (Worton 1989). These UDs allow for estimation of the total area used by individual sage-grouse, while accounting for the imperfect monitoring effort that is common to radio-telemetry studies. To calculate UDs, we used a kernel density estimator with a likelihood based technique to estimate the most appropriate smoothing parameter (Horne and Garton 2009). Using 2009–2013 location data for all VHF-collared sage-grouse, UDs were calculated at the population level for spring (March – May) and summer (June – July). We chose not to calculate UDs for each individual because of limitations in relocations per individual during the spring period. We defined the regional core use area as the 50% contour (isopleth) from the UD and the home-range as the 95% contour. We visually determined if a sage-grouse was nesting when the radio-marked bird was found at the same location multiple times during the early nesting period, (Coates and Delehanty 2010). Nests were 7

monitored ≥3 times per week until their fate was determined. Nests were classified as successful when ≥1 chicks hatched. Nests were also scored as depredated, partially depredated, or abandoned. In addition to monitoring nests with radio telemetry, we installed camouflaged micro-cameras with time-lapsed digital video recorders (DVR) on 39 nests (n = 6, 2009; n = 16, 2010; n = 17, 2011). The primary purpose of cameras was to identify nest predators (Holloran and Anderson, 2003; Coates and others, 2008). Another purpose was to identify factors that influence patterns of incubation (Coates and Delehanty, 2008). Cameras were placed approximately 0.5 m from the nest bowl, which aided in unambiguous identification of animal encounters and sage-grouse behavior. Cameras and video recorders were removed immediately following nest depredation, abandonment, or hatching. We sought to reduce human scent by wearing gloves and using scent-masking spray. 4.4 Estimating Adult Annual Survival, Nest Survival, and Brood Survival We employed the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach to estimate cumulative survival probabilities for adults, nests and broods. We estimated model parameters for all analyses in program R (R Development Core Team, 2008) using package ‘RMark’ (Laake and Rexstad 2008). We developed a monthly encounter history for adult sage-grouse using telemetry data that included the date of capture, last date known to be alive, and fate (confirmed mortality or censored). A censored bird is either still alive or its fate is unknown. We used these data to calculate cumulative annual survival probabilities. We estimated cumulative average nest survival probabilities and modeled survival as a function of nest-specific habitat characteristics. We developed an encounter history of individual nests based on the date each nest was found, last checked, and the fate determined, and coupled those histories with habitat characteristics as explanatory variables (White and Burnham 1999). We estimated the effects of year and nest-level habitat characteristics as additive terms in the models and evaluated the improvement 8

over a null model (intercept-only, no covariates) using Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC; Anderson 2008). Following the completion of a successful nest, we monitored female sage-grouse with broods every ten days at day and night locations for up to 50 days. During most surveys we counted the number of surviving chicks in the brood. To confirm unsuccessful broods and prevent false negative values, an additional search for chicks was conducted within 48 hours of finding females without broods. We reported preliminary findings by estimating cumulative brood survival probabilities across a 50-day period using the same methods as was used to determine nest survival. We will conduct a more intensive investigation of survival covariates with additional data from subsequent years of study. Our preliminary results include estimated survival probabilities for a 10-day interval and cumulative across the 50-day period. 4.5 Nest Site Vegetation We closely followed USGS protocol for measuring nest vegetation variables in the field (USGS 2012). Following nest fate, we measured visual obstruction at the nest bowl using a coverboard (modified from Jones 1968). Measurements were taken at 2 m from the board at 0, 45, and 90° angles from the board. Board direction from the nest bowl was randomly assigned for the first set of measurements, and a total of three measurement sets were taken, with each separated by a 120° rotation of the coverboard. Horizontal cover was measured using the 0 and 45° angle measurements (Jones 1968, Ritchie and others, 1994). Vertical cover was measured using the 90°, and total cover was measured using all three angles combined. We also measured vegetation composition cover at multiple subplots (20 × 50 cm) located ≤25 m from each nest using the Daubenmire method (Daubenmire 1959). We measured canopy cover using the line intercept method (Canfield 1941) along two 25-m transects, one 50-m transect, and one 100-m transect extending from the nest bowl. We recorded shrub species, crown width (cm), and 9

Page 23: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

67

height (cm) of a random sample of individual shrubs along the intercept line to quantify shrub cover. Measurements were recorded within 5 m, 10 m, and 25 m from the nest for all four transect lines, within 50 m for the two 50-m transect lines, and within 100 m for the 100-m transect line. The purpose of the different transect lengths was to assess habitat selection at increasingly large concentric circles around the nest to identify the spatial scale of use for shrub cover within a 100 m radius. To examine nest site habitat selection, defined as use disproportionate to availability (Manly and others, 2002), we compared means and confidence intervals of the vegetation measurements at sites with nests to those at random locations. To characterize available vegetation, we generated random points throughout the study site and conducted the same habitat measurements at those locations centered at the nearest shrub. We evaluated evidence for multi-scale selection by generating two random points for each nest. Dependent random points were generated within 500 m of the nest and represented habitat characteristics surrounding the nest. Independent random points were generated using a GIS prior to the field season, and these points represented habitat characteristics available across the study area. The boundary of the study area was established using a minimum convex polygon from all used locations. This design has two advantages: 1) inferences can be made about sage-grouse habitat selection at the individual level by comparing the used locations to dependent random locations, and 2) inferences can be made at the population level by comparing the used point to the independent random point. This study is ongoing and preliminary analyses should be interpreted with caution. 4.6 Brood-Rearing Vegetation We completed microhabitat surveys at each brood location every 10 days. Surveys were conducted at day, night, and random point locations. To accurately relocate a site where a brood was observed, the telemetry point was recorded by GPS, and a photograph of the immediate area was taken. 10

Page 24: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

68

We conducted similar habitat measurements for brood locations (USGS 2012) as was conducted at nests (i.e. coverboard, Daubenmire and line-intercept). However, the maximum extent for a transect line at brood locations was 25 m. Canopy cover was measured along three 25 m transects extending from the brood location every 120° with random orientation. We measured the crown width (cm) and height (cm) of each shrub species along the three transects within 5 m, 10 m, and 25 m from the brood location. We conducted vegetation measurements at 10-day intervals to evaluate vegetation change in relation to brood location through time. We also evaluated differences in habitat use between night (roosting) and day (foraging) locations. To characterize habitat availability we carried out the same habitat measurements at dependent random points relative to day locations. 4.7 Avian Predator Monitoring We followed USGS predator survey protocol for common raven (Corvus corax; hereafter ravens) and raptor surveys (USGS 2012) between mid-April and late-July. We conducted visual surveys (using binoculars and unaided eyes) for each sage-grouse nest location from a distance of approximately 50 – 100 m. Surveys were conducted over a 10-min period wherein all four directional quadrants around the nest were scanned for an equal amount of time. For each avian predator detected, the time, bearing, and distance from the survey point when first detected (determined with a rangefinder) was recorded, and all birds were classified to species. We randomized the time of survey between one half hour before sunrise and one half hour following sunset to account for bias related with time of day. The same survey technique was carried out at random points as well. Randomized surveys will be used to estimate raven and raptor densities by habitat type across the study site using Program Distance (Thomas et al. 2010).

5.0 Preliminary Results 5.1 Lek Surveys 11

69

In 2013, the two leks were confirmed active (three counts of ≥3 males). A third potential lek discovered in 2011 (West Cottonwood) was designated as inactive in 2012 and 2013. The high counts for males on active leks in 2013 were 34 (Spanish Flat) and 20 (Sheep Springs). These numbers are substantially lower than counts from previous years. For example, the high counts for males on active leks in 2012 were 72 (Spanish Flat) and 34 (Sheep Springs), which were similar to counts from previous years. 5.2 Sage-grouse Space-Use We monitored a total of 149 sage-grouse with VHF transmitters during 2008 − 2013. The total number of males and females tracked by radio telemetry were 13 and 136, respectively (Table 1). Most sage-grouse were relocated in the Spanish Flat area (Figure 1). From 2009 to 2013, the core area of sage-grouse activity (50% UD) during spring (March –May) was 2,308 ha and 1,215 ha for summer (June – July) (Figures 2 & 3), according to pooled telemetry locations. The population level home range (95% UD) encompassed 12,631 ha during spring and 7,363 ha during summer. In each year, the core area was located at Spanish Flat. Sage-grouse captured from both lek sites used this area before moving to wintering areas. The majority of individual home ranges throughout spring and summer overlapped within the Spanish Flat area, indicating relatively less use of the Sheep Springs area. 5.3 Sage-grouse Survival Cumulative annual adult survival probability during 2009–2013 was 56.3% (95% CI, 48.0 – 63.8%; Figure 4). In 2013, we recovered 19 sage-grouse mortalities that were banded and fitted with transmitters. Assumed cause of death included depredation by mammalian predators (n = 7), avian predators (n = 3), and unknown causes (n = 9). During 2012, we located five dead sage-grouse, all banded and equipped with transmitters. All mortalities were located to the east of Spanish Flat lek within the foothills of Tule Ridge. The average distance of the mortalities to the lek site was 2.4 ± 0.3 km (mean ± SE). One mortality was located on 12

Page 26: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

70

the eastern slope of Tule Ridge at a relatively high elevation. No mortalities were located near the Sheep Springs lek. Three mortalities appeared to be caused by mammalian predators, and one mortality appeared to be caused by an avian predator. Carcass remains are used to infer the cause of a mortality, however, carcasses are often scavenged by other carnivores, thus obscuring evidence of the initial predator’s identity. For study years 2009–2011, 19 sage-grouse mortalities were found, all banded and fitted with transmitters. Presumed causes of death included mammalian predators (n = 6), avian predators (n = 4), unknown predators (n = 1), anthropogenic structure collisions (n = 2), and unknown causes (n = 6). 5.4 Nest Survival Cumulative average nest survival probability for the 37-day egg-laying and incubation phase for study years 2009 – 2011 and 2013 was 28.9% (95% CI, 18.7 – 40.0%; Figure 5). We did not use 2012 data in this survival estimation because we found very few nests in 2012 and nests were initially located during later stages of incubation due to field logistic constraints. Including these nests into the analysis may bias the estimation high because daily nest survival probabilities have been shown to increase as incubation progresses (Coates and Delehanty, 2010). In five years, 96 sage-grouse nests were monitored (Figure 6). Of these, we documented 45 successful nests (first attempt = 37, second attempt = 8) and 51 failed nests (first attempt = 48, second attempt = 3), of which we were able to determine that 39 were depredated (first attempt =36, second attempt = 3). Four nests were partially depredated with ≥1 chick hatched. Signals were lost for several female sage-grouse during the study, perhaps because of radio failure or movement away from the region. The remaining radio-collared female sage-grouse did not attempt to nest, or nests were depredated prior to our detection during the laying period. We did not document third nesting attempts. 5.5 Nest Habitat Selection 13

Page 27: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

71

Our preliminary findings suggest shrubs selected for nesting were larger in height, width, and perpendicular width, and contained greater litter depth than shrubs measured at random locations (Table 2). Females nested under various cover types. If multiple cover types were present at the nest site, the dominant species or structure occupying the greatest proportion of the nest was used as the main cover type. The most commonly used overhead nest cover was shrubs, but a rock outcrop (n = 1) and a juniper (n = 1) were also selected for nest cover (Figure 7). The most frequently used shrub species were big sagebrush (29%) and rabbitbrush (21%). Other vegetation included snowberry, bunchgrass, horsebrush, greasewood, bitterbrush, ephedra, serviceberry, dead sagebrush, three-tip sagebrush, black sagebrush, low sagebrush, winterfat, and choke cherry (Figure 7). Preliminary results are reported as means (± Standard Error) of vegetation measurements for nest sites and random points. Although all species of sagebrush were selected as the nesting shrub 35% of the time, the average sagebrush cover within 100 m of the nest was only 4.6 ± 0.8% (14.2 ± 1.0% of the total shrub cover). Conversely, non-sagebrush shrub species were being selected for across all spatial scales of use (Figure 8). Additionally, in comparing nest locations with random dependent and random independent locations, mean sagebrush cover within 100 m was 4.7 ± 0.8% and 3.6 ± 0.6% (respectively), which further suggests lack of selection for overall sagebrush cover. Our preliminary results suggest that sage-grouse are selecting for predominantly big sagebrush for the nest shrub and greater non-sagebrush shrub cover at the 5 m, 10 m, 25 m, 50 m, and 100 m scales. When comparing the available habitat at both spatial scales (dependent and independent), we found evidence for avoidance of annual cheatgrass at the nest (used= 5.1 ± 0.8%; dependent= 7.4 ± 1.1%; independent= 11.6 ± 1.6%). However, we did not find a significant difference in selection of perennial grass cover at nesting sites between the used and independent locations. Thus, our preliminary results indicate females do not select for perennial grasses and avoid annual grasses, especially 14

Page 28: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

72

cheatgrass, at the nest site. We did not distinguish cheatgrass from other annual grasses; however, we assume cheatgrass to be a majority of the annual grass category based on field observations. This effect is reduced as the distance from the nest increases (Figure 9). 5.6 Sage-grouse Nest Videography Thirty-nine nests were video-monitored during 2009 (n = 6), 2010 (n = 16), and 2011 (n = 17). Nest depredations, partial nest depredations, and successful hatches were recorded. We calculated nest survival for video-monitored nests in the same manner as described for all nests in Section 4.4. The reason for calculating survival of video-monitored nests both together and separately from all nests was to determine if video-monitored nests are more or less likely to fail. Nest survival across all video-monitored nests for all years was 43.7 ± 0.1% (means ± SE), with yearly survival rates of: 22.2% ± 0.1 (2009), 35.0% ± 0.1 (2010), 60.6% ± 0.1 (2011). Successful hatching was recorded at 21 nests. Predator activity was recorded at 17 nests, of which 15 nests were depredated and 2 nests were partially depredated. Both partially depredated nests still hatched ≥1 egg following the event. Depredation was the primary cause of sage-grouse nest failure. Nest predators were avian, mammalian, and reptilian. Predation of both eggs and chicks were recorded at the nest. Ravens were the most frequent sage-grouse nest predator in the Virginia Mountains, accounting for 46.7% of nest depredations. Equipment failure occurred at the remaining 3 nests, and nest fate was not recorded. Ravens (n = 7) were the most frequent nest predator identified by video-monitoring in our study and caused partial (n = 3) and full (n = 4) depredation. Ravens were the only nest predator for which we observed complete egg removal with no eggshell fragments or other remains left in the nest. Ultimately, all females abandoned the remaining eggs following partial depredation by ravens. We did not observe female grouse defending nests following discovery by ravens. One raven depredation occurred while the 15

Page 29: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

73

female was absent from the nest. The remaining depredations involved ravens flushing the incubating female from the nest. In one situation, a raven violently struck an incubating female and continued to harass the female beyond the nest bowl before removing eggs (Figure 10). Timing of raven depredation varied (range, 07:06 – 18:31 hours). Depredations by coyotes (Figure 11A) occurred on three occasions resulting in complete nest failure. All coyote depredations were nocturnal, taking place from 21:31 – 23:50 hours. In each instance, incubating females flushed from the nest, escaped capture by coyotes, and did not attempt to defend nests. In two coyote depredations, eggshells were left mostly intact except for large holes in their sides and were scattered within a 10 m radius of the nest bowl. The third coyote depredation left two empty eggshells with holes in the side, and the fragments of crushed eggs within 5 m of the nest. We documented two badger nest depredations (Figure 11B) and both resulted in complete nest failure. Incubating females flushed from the nests at 04:45 and 05:44 hours, respectively, did not attempt to defend nests, and were not captured by the badger. One badger depredation left three crushed eggshells, partially buried in the nest bowl, and five eggshells with large holes in the sides or ends. The shells were scattered within 5 m of the nest bowl. In the other badger depredation, the badger consumed all but one egg during the night and then returned at 08:04 in the morning and removed the remaining whole egg from the nest bowl. One nest was depredated by a bobcat (Figure11C). At 02:04 hours, the incubating grouse flushed from the nest. The grouse did not appear to defend her nest and was not captured by the bobcat. The 16

Page 30: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

74

bobcat cautiously entered the view of the camera shortly after the grouse flushed and consumed the contents of every egg (n = 8). Long-tailed weasels were recorded at two sage-grouse nest sites, both of which led to partial depredations. At 07:51 a weasel entered the camera view of one nest (Figure 12) and the incubating grouse stood, but did not leave the nest bowl area. The female appeared to be defending her nest, but during the encounter one egg from the clutch was moved beyond the camera field of view. No egg remains were located near the nest site. The female resumed incubation following the encounter and continued to incubate for 18 more days before the nest failed due to depredation by an unknown predator. The second partial weasel depredation occurred at 05:06 as eggs were hatching. The grouse stood but did not flush and appeared to defend her nest. Ultimately, the female left the nest and our subsequent examination of nest remains identified one eggshell from a hatched egg and eggshell fragments from crushed eggshells. Subsequently, we located the female and found her brooding one chick. On two occasions Great Basin gopher snakes (Pituophis catenifer deserticola) entered sage-grouse nest bowls. On the first occasion (Figure 13A), during an incubation recess, a gopher snake of approximately 1 m length entered the nest bowl at 12:20 hours and attempted to consume eggs (Figure 13B and C) for approximately 1 hour. Ultimately, the female abandoned the nest and no eggs hatched. At a different nest, a gopher snake encounter occurred at 11:11 hours following the hatching of four chicks. The female sage-grouse was incubating the remaining single un-hatched egg prior to the arrival of the 1 m long snake (Figure 14A). During the interaction, the snake captured a chick (Figure 14B and 17

Page 31: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

75

14C), constricting the chick while fighting with the defending female grouse (Figure 14D). Eventually, the female left the nest bowl with the remaining three chicks (Figure 14E). The snake consumed the constricted chick (Figure 14F) in the nest bowl then attempted to consume the un-hatched egg, but was unsuccessful. Many small rodents were documented visiting sage-grouse nests including California ground squirrels (Spermophilus beecheyi), least chipmunks (Tamias minimus), Great Basin pocket mice (Perognathus parvus), kangaroo rats (Dipodomys spp.), and other encounters with mice and voles that could not be identified accurately. Rodents were recorded at nest locations only while the female was absent from the nest during an incubation recess or after nest termination. Most encounters involved a quick dash through the nest bowl with the occasional feeding on broken eggshells. On two occasions, ground squirrels were adept at manipulating sage-grouse eggs (Figure 15A), but were unable to bite into whole eggs (Figure 15B and 15C), presumably due to a limited gape width. No rodents were documented flushing female sage-grouse from nests. 5.7 Brood Survival During 2009 through 2013, 47 broods were monitored. Twenty-four females with broods were confirmed successful (≥1 chick survived to 50-days post-hatch) and 16 broods failed. Of the 16 unsuccessful females, 11 were confirmed as failed on or before the 25-day post-hatch interval. The remaining seven broods could not be relocated to determine survival at 50-day post-hatch; therefore, their fate is unknown. The 10-day interval brood survival probability was 93.6% (95% CI = 88.5–96.5%) for 2009 through 2013. The cumulative average brood survival probability for 50-day brood rearing phase 18

Page 32: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

76

(probability of success through the brood rearing period) was 71.8% (95% CI = 54.3–83.8%, Figure 16) for 2009 through 2013. 5.8 Brood-Rearing Habitat Selection Habitat use within 25 m of a brood-rearing sage-grouse shows evidence of greater selection for perennial forbs during the day (13.0 ± 0.7%) and lower selection of forbs at night (9.7 ± 0.7%) compared with random locations (Figure 17). We also found evidence of avoidance of perennial grass at the used location at night (used (night) = 6.0 ± 0.7%) compared to the used day location (used (day) = 8.7 ± 1.0%; random (day) = 11.7 ± 1.5%). Brood-rearing females also appeared to avoid annual grasses at all times (used (day) = 6.1 ± 0.8%, used (night) = 5.0 ± 0.6%, random = 7.0 ± 0.8%); however, the differences were not significant. In general, conclusive differences were not found for selection of vegetative cover (excluding perennial forbs) for broods during the day when compared to random points. Conversely, a general trend suggests that brood-rearing hens are selecting against cover at night and are roosting on bare ground (night = 39.1 ± 3.1%, random = 28.6 ± 2.9%; Figure 17). Although brood-rearing sage-grouse show no preference for daytime locations with greater vegetative cover, the coverboard data indicates a selection for greater horizontal cover (0° and 45°) at day used locations and less horizontal cover at night used locations than would be expected to occur at random (used (day) = 50.9 ± 1.5%; used (night) = 41.9 ± 1.75%; random = 47.1 ± 2.1%; Figure 18). In contrast, vertical cover (measured at a 90° angle) did not appear to be a significant factor in brood site selection when compared to random points (Figure 18). However, a comparison between day and night locations indicates a difference does exist for all angles measured (0°, 45°, and 90°). We found that brood-rearing sage-grouse select for over-all cover during the day and select against over-all cover at night at the immediate brood location (Figure 19). Day and night canopy cover selection also may be 19

occurring within 25 m of brood locations (Figure 19), however, additional data samples will be required to test this relationship. 5.9 Avian Predator Surveys During March – August, 2009 – 2013, we conducted 1,511 raven and raptor surveys throughout the Virginia Mountains study site (Figure 20). In total, we recorded 1,184 raven and 933 raptor detections. Raptor species included, Red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) (n = 177), Turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) (n = 139), American kestrel (Falco sparverius) (n = 112), Golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) (n = 90), Northern harrier (Circus cyaneus) (n = 72), Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni) (n = 49), prairie falcon (n = 15), and 278 unidentified raptors. Raptor species observed only once included White-tailed kite (Elanus leucurus), Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), Great-horned owl (Bubo virginianus), Ferruginous hawk (Buteo regalis), and Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter cooperii). Of the surveys, 519 detected no birds, nine detected Black-billed magpies (Pica hudsonia) (n = 17), eight detected Common nighthawks (Chordeiles mino) (n = 22), and 96 detected 146 unidentified bird species. Of the surveys, 773 detected ravens and/or raptors (51.1%) and 293 detected ravens only (19.4%). Of the surveys that detected ravens, 203 detected only one raven per survey (26.3%), 135 detected two ravens, likely territorial pairs (17.5%), and 112 detected between three and 10 ravens, likely pairs with broods, fledged broods, or small juvenile flocks (14.5%). Only 12 surveys observed more than 10 ravens (n = 11, 12, 12, 14, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18, 21, 44 and 58 ravens, respectively) which were likely large groups of juvenile and/or unpaired adult birds (Figure 20). These observations of more than 10 ravens occurred during 2009, 2010 and 2013. The greatest number of ravens observed during a single survey in 2011and 2012 was nine and seven, respectfully.

NDOW-USU COYOTE ECOLOGY GRANT AMMENDMENT State: Nevada Grant Title: Nevada Department of Wildlife /Utah State University Coyote Ecology Study Grant Number: W-68-R-1 (F10AF00650) Project Duration: July 1, 2010 – August 12, 2015 Interim Report Due Date: September 28, 2014 INTRODUCTION This was initially identified as a 5-year project starting in 2010. There was $100,000/year identified with a 25% state match and a 75% federal (WSFR) match for a total of $500,000. WSFR funds were used for years 1, 2 and 4. The 3rd year the project was entirely funded using state funds. For FY15, it is requested that WSFR funding again provides 75% or $75,000. In FY11 the study design and implementation was initiated in Central Nevada. From FY11 through FY14 32 adult coyotes were radio-collared and 22 pups were ear-tagged, movements and behavior were analyzed and prey abundance and distribution surveys were conducted. Coyote prey ecology data analyses was initiated in FY13. Plans for FY15 are to continue with monitoring, surveys, analyses and publishing of scientific results. NEED Food availability is likely the single most important factor driving coyote (Canis latrans) biology. While the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is perhaps one of the better known coyote prey species, coyotes are generalist predators. Their diets consist of hunted prey of several species (Lagomorphs, Rodents, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Insects, etc), carrion, vegetation, and mast, though they generally consume whatever is most readily available. Coyotes often switch from one prey source to another depending on food availability (Hamlin et al 1984). The capacity to consume a wide ranging diet and the loss of the gray wolf across much of its historic range has facilitated the growth of the coyote range which presently spans from Mexico to Alaska and from Florida to Maine. This study is designed to understand coyote ecology in central Nevada in terms of how food availability affects abundance, home range size and litter size of the species. Controversial carnivore kill activities are being conducted throughout the western United States and in the State of Nevada. Therefore, understanding coyote population dynamics, the role of food availability, and diet are essential for effective ecosystem

management. Wildlife managers need a better understanding of coyote ecology to determine how the species interacts with its environment, how it impacts ecosystems by providing ecological services (e.g. trophic cascade service of improving forage quality and quantity on mule deer winter range by consuming black-tailed jackrabbits [Lepus californicus], how the coyote may be impacted by abundance of food (i.e. sagebrush vole [Lemmiscus curtatus], American deer mouse [Peromyscus maniculatus], piñon mouse [Peromyscus truei] , black-tailed jackrabbit, mule deer, pronghorn [Antilocapra Americana], carrion and mast), and the conditions under which changes in coyote population abundance/demography may change abundance of mule deer and other game populations and/or trigger changes in wildlife habitat conditions. The sole intent of this research is to provide managers with the tools to maintain healthy and thriving native ecosystems with a complex and diverse mix of wildlife species and wildlife habitats. This project proposal is for five years ending in FY2015 on 12 August 2015. PURPOSE and OBJECTIVES The purpose is determine how coyote abundance, diet, productivity, and home range are influenced by the availability of prey and the quality of habitat within 4 basins located in central Nevada. This knowledge will help Nevada Department of Wildlife and public land managers make effective, ecologically sound decisions when it comes to managing wildlife species and wildlife habitats in the future. Specific Objectives (Research Questions) are as follows:

1. How does the availability of lagomorphs and small mammals influence coyote abundance, diet, and home range size?

2. What is the productivity of coyotes in central Nevada and how do these levels differ among the 4 study sites?

EXPECTED RESULTS Implications for management of wildlife populations/habitats include: Improved success of game population management is a potential result of an improved understanding of coyote dietary preference, coyote productivity and prey switching capabilities. Improved understanding of coyote population dynamics and resource partitioning could improve our ability to manage wildlife habitats for optimum wildlife productivity statewide (Shivik 1995). APPROACH Coyote Capture

86

We will capture, radio collar, and release 30-40 coyotes from 2011 to 2014. Coyote captures will be conducted from mid-May to February of each year. We will capture coyotes using Victor No. 3 Soft Catch and 1.75 foothold traps or cable restraints and/or using a helicopter net gun approach. Coyotes will be immobilized with 10 mg/kg of ketamine mixed with 1 mg/kg of xylazine. Pictures will be taken of the left, right, and side views of the teeth to determine age by tooth wear. Individuals will be fitted either with a 280-g necklace Global Positioning System (GPS) collar and a 145-g Very High Frequency (VHF) collar (GPS collar model G2C 181B,VHF collar model V5C 271B, Sirtrack®, Havelock, New Zealand). The GPS collars are out-fitted with a mortality signal that is programmed to turn on when coyotes are still for >2 hours. They have a battery life of 730 days, and will collect 6 points a day at different times (1800, 2200, 2400, 0200, 0600, and 1200 hours); in addition they have a VHF transmitter with battery a life of 730 days. The VHF collars have a mortality signal and a battery life of 1,825 days. The first 15 healthy adult coyotes captured will receive both collars. Coyote Monitoring We will monitor coyotes with GPS and VHF collars for 2 years. GPS units will automatically detach after being deployed 2 years. After detachment or in the case of coyote mortality, we will locate the GPS collar using Communications Specialists receivers and 3-way Yagi antennas (Communications Specialists, Orange, California). We will also locate coyotes once their GPS collars have fallen off so that they can be recaptured and re-collared. Telemetry will be performed when conducting other surveys in each study site to determine presence or absence of each radio-collared animal and determine a general location. Data from the GPS collars will be used to assess home range size, seasonal variation, and habitat use. Coyote Abundance Scat transects will be used to determine coyote abundance. Four 1-km transects will be randomly selected from an ArcMap layer for each study site on existing roads. All transects will be walked once every 30 days from May through August. All scats will be counted and collected for diet analysis. Scat deposition rates will be standardized by the number of days between surveys and transect length. Passive-tracking indices will also be used to determine coyote abundance. Lightly traveled roads will be randomly selected in ArcMap for plot placement. Every 0.8 km along selected roads, we will sweep a plot clear of debris and fill it in with nearby loose soil. Plots will be checked for tracks and cleared every morning for 3 days. We will conduct these transects 3 consecutive days each month from May and September. We will also use our radio-collared coyotes to assess abundance using a modified capture-recapture Jolly Seber method. Coyote Productivity Between November and February, coyote calling contests are conducted in central Nevada. As many female carcasses as possible will be collected from these contests. Uteruses will be removed from female carcasses and dissected to count placental scars and fetuses. Litter sizes will be determined by differentiating and counting primary, secondary, and re-absorption scars. Any female carcass found dead through telemetry, randomly found, or acquired from our contractor will also be analyzed for placental

Page 43: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

87

scars and fetuses. Carcasses will be collected and teeth will be pulled from both male and female coyotes to determine age structure. Coyote Scat Analysis Coyote scats will be collected during scat transects. Scats will be dried in the sun and stored for lab analysis. Once in the lab, scat will be placed in pantyhose and washed in a washing machine to remove small material but leave behind bones, teeth, and fur. Scat will be dissected such that bones, skin, feathers, hair, insect parts, and plant parts will be identified to genus and species when possible. We will collect samples of plants and insects as well as hair, teeth, and bones from lagomorphs and rodents, and assemble an identification key to identify parts in each scat. Abundance of Lagomorphs and Small Mammals Surveys to assess lagomorph abundance will be conducted twice per month on roads within each study site. We will drive 10-15 kph and survey for lagomorphs on the road while 2 passengers will spotlight for lagomorphs on their respective side of the vehicle. When a lagomorph is sighted, the vehicle will be stopped and the distance, species, number of individuals, and UTM coordinates will be recorded. We will estimate small-mammal abundance using a mark-recapture study involving Sherman live-traps during June and September of each field season. Two trapping webs will be established in each site. Traps will be established in a web pattern containing 12 radial lines, totaling 148 traps. The first 4 traps in each radial line will be spaced in 5-m intervals, the next 8 traps will be spaced at 10-m intervals, and an additional 4 traps will be placed in the web center. Traps will be checked every morning, closed during the day, and then reopened every evening. All small mammals will receive a permanent marker dot on their stomach; blue for male, red for female. All Spermophilus, Ammospermophilus, Tamias, Dipodomys, Rattus, and Thomomys will receive an ear tag in each ear in addition to their permanent marker marking. Each small mammal’s sex, reproductive status, and weight will also be recorded. Statistical Analysis Coyote abundance will be determined through scat analysis using Knowlton’s (1984) techniques. Passive tracking indexes will be determined using techniques similar to those described by Engeman et al. (2000). We will use Program DISTANCE to determine lagomorph abundance. Both program DISTANCE and MARK will be used to determine small-mammal abundance. Coyote home ranges will be determined by measuring adaptive kernels in ArcMap 9.3 (ESRI Redlands, CA) following methods detailed by (Rodgers et al. 2007). USEFUL LIFE Not applicable. No capital improvements are expected under this project. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION This study will be conducted in 4 mountain basins in central Nevada located in the Monitor and Toquima Mountain Ranges of Eureka County (Charnac Basin) and Nye

HOWDOESTHISPROJECTMEETTHEOBJECTIVESOFTHEWILDLIFEHERITAGEPROGRAM(NRS501.3575) This project is designed to help restore greater sage-grouse population viability across Nevada. In areas where manmade resource subsidies for resident raven populations are contributing to the expansion of those populations, greater sage-grouse nest success and brood survival may be optimized by strategic removal of these subsidies. The fostering of cooperation between NDOW and road maintenance agencies, waste stream managers, power and phone companies and private landowners will be essential in changing the resource subsidy landscape in northern Nevada.

* Note on routes. All routes in this database can become impassable during storms, after big rains/snows or after extended wet periods. The Not in Winter routes are the most likely routes to be unusable in winter and after big rains/snows or after extended wet periods. Exceptions for these Not in Winter routes can be when they are noticeably dry and/or frozen and packed hard in winter. In other words, they can be surveyed under these field conditions when using extreme caution. Most Not in Winter routes that traverse large mountain ranges are not an option because of deep, lingering snows on their passes, often into April and May. Another complicating field condition especially in winter is high wind. New snow, even some old snow that has been lying around for weeks can be drifted up into cement-like road barriers in a matter of hours in valleys or mountains.

Project 32 Cougar – Mule Deer – Black Bear Analysis (Areas 19,20,29) Details

Describe the background of the problem or why the project is warranted.

In the Great Basin of Nevada, black bears (Ursus americanus) and grizzly bears (Ursus

arctos) were extirpated through targeted removals due to conflicts with humans, their livestock

and changes in land use patterns over 80 years ago. However, due to protective measures black

bears have begun re-colonizing historic ranges in the Great Basin (Lackey et al., 2013). A long-

term study on black bears in Nevada conducted by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and

Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) demonstrated the success of black bear re-colonization

in Great Basin ranges with demographic data that subsequently allowed for black bears in

Nevada to be reclassified as a big game species; the first black bear hunt in Nevada commenced

in 2011. In these same ranges, mountain lions (Puma concolor) are the apex predator and their

primary prey, mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), are in decline across the west (Robinson et al.

2002). Preliminary data from a 4 year study on mountain lions in the western Great Basin Desert

and eastern Sierra Nevada range indicates that

black bears and mountain lions have frequent

interactions at mountain lion kill sites where

black bears take-over and scavenge (or

“kleptoparasitize”) prey carcasses from

mountain lions (Andreasen, unpublished

data). Between 2009 and 2012, 26.5% of 433

mule deer killed by 20+ collared mountain

lions in western Nevada were scavenged by

black bears with over 50% of mule deer killed

by collared mountain lions being scavenged

during summer months (June – September) in

mountain ranges where bears are present at

moderate to high densities (Figure 1;

Andreasen, unpublished data). We anticipate that

176

Figure 2. Black bear scavenging from kill made by collared mountain lion – photo from real-time trail camera

these competitive interactions between black bears and mountain lions have non-negligible

effects on mountain lion predation behavior and subsequent impacts on mule deer populations.

Statement of need

While data suggests that a single predator in a single prey system is unlikely to cause a decline in

ungulate prey populations, the addition of a second predator or prey species can substantially

shift predator-prey dynamics such that prey are more likely to be held at low densities by

predators (Meisser 1994). Thus, black bears re-colonizing historic ranges may substantially alter

predator-prey dynamics - indirectly through competitive interactions with mountain lions -

effectively acting as a second predator on mule deer populations. We have data from over 400

mule deer killed by collared mountain lions in Nevada that suggest that on average, 50% of

mountain lion killed deer are scavenged by black bears during summer months when bears are

active. However, our data to date have not allowed us to

determine if bears and mountain lions have direct

competitive interactions at mountain lion kills or if bears

are “passively scavenging” after a mountain lion voluntarily

abandons a prey carcass. Determining such subtleties in

behavioral interactions is a necessary step towards

understanding how bears may indirectly affect mule deer

populations. For instance, if bears aggressively usurp kills

from mountain lions, energy loss directly attributable to loss of food items is expected to result in

increased kill rates for mountain lions (Murphy et al. 1998; Krofel et al. 2012). Mountain lions

may also compensate for food losses by including additional prey items in their diet (Bolnick et

al. 2010) or prey switching to prey items that are less energetically costly to capture (i.e.,

domestic livestock) (Krofel et al. 2012). We therefore expect that these mechanisms mountain

lion are thought to use to compensate for losses, will likely increase predation on mule deer and

potentially increase conflict with humans. However, if bears passively scavenge after lions

voluntarily abandon their prey, black bear re-colonization into historic ranges is unlikely to affect

mountain lion predation behavior or mule deer populations.

177

In addition to potential effects on mule deer populations, loss of prey items to bears is anticipated

to depress mountain lion survival and reproduction – an important consideration when

determining sustainable harvest quotas in areas where bears are re-colonizing historic ranges

after a century of absence. Further, food subsidies in the form of mountain lion killed deer

carcasses may facilitate black bear re-colonization into historic ranges. For instance, both

grizzly bears (Ruth et al. 2003) and black bears (Beckmann & Berger 2003) have been shown to

redistribute across the landscape in response to food; from wildland areas into urban areas in the

Sierra Nevada due to garbage and from Yellowstone National Park to outside park boundaries in

response to discarded remains of hunter killed elk carcasses during the hunting season (Ruth et

al. 2003). Food subsidies in the form of carcasses usurped from mountain lions, are therefore

expected to increase population viability, density and ultimately aide in expansion of black bear

populations into unoccupied ranges where mountain lions and mule deer are relatively new

inhabitants since the disappearance of the black bear 100 years ago and the disappearance of the

California grizzly 83 years ago (Berger and Wehausen 1991).

State the goal of the project. SCIF is particularly interested in how this project will meet

an unmet scientific or management need.

The goal of this research is to obtain empirical data that can be used by wildlife biologists to

manage for a balance between predators and prey while maintaining healthy populations of large

carnivores. This overarching goal was taken directly from the Nevada Department of Wildlife’s

Comprehensive Mountain Lion Management Plan (Stiver 1995) and has thus been identified as

an important management need. Nonetheless, until recently, data pertaining to predator-prey

dynamics in Nevada has been lacking with management decisions in the state largely guided by

input from local interest groups (Lackey and Woolstenhulme 2012). In fact, the field study that

we began in 2009 was the first research pertaining to mountain lions or predator-prey

interactions in Nevada since the 1970s and we have provided substantial data that suggests that

there are significant gaps in understanding of mountain lion ecology and therefore what factors

may drive predator-prey dynamics – including secondary prey species (e.g. wild horses;

Andreasen et al. 2013) and predator species (e.g. black bears; Andreasen, unpublished data) that

may act indirectly to affect prey populations. While we have recently documented that

Page 134: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

178

interactions between bears and mountain lions occur frequently at mountain lion kill sites (Figure

1; Andreasen et al., unpublished data), we now propose to determine the behavioral mechanisms

of these interactions and assess effects on population dynamics of mountain lions, black bears,

and mule deer. Answering these questions is particularly important to understanding how bears

may shift predator-prey dynamics, influence mountain lion predation behavior and the resulting

impact on prey populations (mule deer) which are declining throughout the west.

While the proposed study will provide important information for wildlife

managers, it also addresses questions, founded in ecological theory, that remain

unanswered in the scientific community. The data that we will provide to the scientific

community, in peer-reviewed journals, will be among the first data examining

interactions among re-establishing carnivores and resident carnivores on prey

populations. It will also be able to shed light on carnivore re-colonization of historic

ranges and the impact that recolonizing carnivores have on demographics and behavior

of existing carnivores. Finally, while there have been highly publicized conservation

successes in re-establishing apex carnivores and the resulting positive effects they have

exerted on biodiversity in North America, most of that research has occurred in national

parks - particularly in Yellowstone National Park where there is now a complete suite of

large carnivores (Berger & Smith 2005). However, national parks representing such

intensively protected areas occupy just 2% of the total lands in North America. Thus,

significant gaps in knowledge and conservation challenges remain for carnivores and

the ecological roles they play in working landscapes - the remaining checkerboard of

public and private lands outside of urban areas, where humans live, work, trap, hunt,

and make a living from ranching, farming, and other endeavors. This research will

address these gaps in knowledge and aide in the understanding of predator-prey

dynamics in human-impacted environments.

What are the specific, measurable objectives of the project?

By the end of year 5 we will meet the following objectives:

I. Understand if the presence of mountain lions facilitates the re-colonization of black bears

in historic ranges through the provisioning of food subsidies by estimating:

Page 135: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

179

a. the frequency that bears scavenge from mountain lion kill sites

b. the percent difference in black bear survival and reproduction (and/or correlates

of reproduction such as body fat reserves) between bears that capitalize on

mountain lion killed carcasses versus those bears that do not

c. attraction of bears to mountain lions or mountain lion kills

II. Determine if the presence of re-colonizing black bears affects mountain lion predation

behavior including predation rates and prey selection by comparing:

a. the proportion of scavenging events in which bears directly compete with

mountain lions for prey carcasses versus the proportion which bears “passively

scavenge” from mountain lion kill sites

b. percent difference in kill rates of mountain lions between areas with varying

densities of bears

c. percent overlap in diet of mountain lions in areas with varying density of bears

III. Determine the indirect impact of re-colonizing black bears on mule deer populations by

comparing:

a. the degree of additive versus compensatory mortality of mule deer in mountain

ranges with varying densities of black bears by comparing life-history

characteristics of mule deer (e.g., body condition of does, pregnancy rates,

recruitment of young)

b. percent difference in mule deer survival among ranges with varying densities of

black bears

IV. Determine if the presence of re-colonizing black bears impacts mountain lion

populations, by estimating:

a. the percent difference in mountain lion survival and reproduction (and/or

correlates of reproduction such as body fat reserves) in areas with varying density

of bears

b. repulsion of mountain lions to presence of bears

V. Provide wildlife managers and stakeholders with this information that will allow for

management decisions pertaining to large carnivores and ungulate prey to be guided by

empirical data

METHODS

The proposed project provides a unique opportunity to combine the efforts of two long-

term studies being conducted on 1) black bears and 2) mountain lions in the Great Basin of

Nevada where black bears are naturally re-colonizing historic ranges. Between these two studies

we have collected over 50,000 GPS location data points from 27+ mountain lions in western

Nevada gathered between 2009 -2012, over 30,000 GPS locations from 25+ collared bears in

western Nevada collected between 2009 – 2012 (Figure 2&3, and mountain lion diet data from

over 700 documented predation events from 20

individuals (Figure 1). We will begin targeting

additional bears and mountain lions for capture that

overlap, specifically to address these new questions

pertaining to interspecies interactions in 3 study areas

in western Nevada with varying densities of bears

(Carson Range: high density bears; Pine Nut Range:

medium density of bears; Virginia Range: low density

bears).

A minimum of 15 black bears, 15 mountain

lions, and 60 mule deer will be captured and fitted

with telemetry collars. Black bears and mountain lions

will be fitted with Vectronic brand GPS PLUS collars

with PROXIMITY sensors to assess behavioral

responses of each species upon close interaction (Figure

4). Collars will be programmed to take one fix per

minute when a collared bear and collared mountain lion

are within 250 meters and 1 fix every 3 hours otherwise.

We will attempt to maintain sample sizes of 5 bears and

5 mountain lions collared in each of 3 study areas for

four years. Because mortality of mountain lions and

bears is high, we will be required to capture and collar

additional animals to maintain sample size minimums (5

in each range) for multiple years. Mule deer will be fit

individuals and to estimate annual adult doe survival in each study area.

Mountain lions will be located via snow tracking and captured by treeing with trained

hounds, snares, and box traps (Andreasen et al, 2013; Figure 4). We will use culvert traps,

snares, and trained dogs to capture bears (Beckmann & Lackey xxxx). Mule deer will be

captured using helicopter net gunning ((Figure x) To have the highest probability of overlap

among individuals of each species, we will capture mountain lions first and subsequently capture

black bears within home ranges of collared mountain lions. To further maximize probability of

recording carnivore-carnivore interactions, we will monitor kill sites of collared mountain lions

with real-time trail cameras and target black bears scavenging from lion kills for collaring with

GPS proximity collars (Figure 2).

Using detailed proximity data from GPS

proximity collars (i.e. 1 GPS fix per minute), we

will estimate the frequency of scavenging events

in which 1) bears aggressively commandeer prey

items from mountain lions or 2) passively

scavenge after the lion has left the predation site.

Using standard GPS data (e.g. 1 fix every 3

hours), we will estimate 1) mountain lion kill rates and

prey selection in the three study areas (with varying

densities of bears) by identifying GPS clusters

made by collared mountain lions and investigating those clusters on the ground (Figure 1)

(Anderson & Linzey 2003,; Andreasen et al.,2013), 2) visit a subset of GPS clusters made by

collared bears during fawning season to assess the potential that bears are killing deer fawns in

addition to scavenging from lions, 3) determine if bears display attraction toward mountain lions

or mountain lion kills more than expected by chance, and 4) determine if mountain lions display

repulsion away from bears more than expected by chance.

During capture of bears, mountain lions, and deer, we will measure body condition (e.g.

using ultrasound and traditional palpation methods) as a

Page 138: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

182

correlate of fitness (Stephenson et al 2002, Cook et al. 2004). Pregnancy rates of deer will also

be assessed with ultrasound during initial capture. Cub production of bears and mountain lions

will be estimated by visiting dens to enumerate offspring (e.g., Beckmann et al. xxxx; Andreasen

et al., 2013). Offspring survival of bears and mountain lions will be monitored using expandable

telemetry collars (GPS PLUS VERTEX Survey collars with mortality sensors). Adult survival of

bears, lions, and mule deer will be monitored daily with GPS collars with mortality sensors.

Outline or describe a detailed project timeline.

4 adult bears, 1adult mountain lion, and 10 adult mule deer are currently collared with

GPS satellite collars in the Carson Range, with an additional 2 adult bears in the Pine Nut Range

and 4 adult mountain lions (+ 2 kittens) in the Virginia Range. We will recapture those

individuals in the Spring 2014 (?) to collar with GPS proximity collars to begin addressing these

new questions. We will capture mule deer in March 2014 in each of the three mountain ranges

when estimation of pregnancy rates are most reliable because of developmental stages of the

fetus . We will begin the capture of new mountain lions in the fall/winter of 2014 in each of the

three study areas. Bears will subsequently be captured during the fall/winter 2014 that 1) are

found scavenging from collared mountain lions 2) are located within the home-range of collared

mountain lion. We will continue capture efforts as needed to attempt to maintain a minimum

sample of 5 lions and 5 bears in each study area. Captures of lions will occur during the winter

months when probability of locating and capture is greatest while bears within the homerange of

collared lions will be targeted for capture from April through November annually. Data from

GPS collars is obtained in real-time which will allow us to identify mountain lion and bear GPS

clusters and visit them on the ground to determine kill rates and prey selection of mountain lion

and kleptoparasitism rates of bears throughout the duration of the study with final data analysis

beginning in the winter of 2018. Denning of bears to determine cub production and survival will

occur in January annually. We will visit dens of mountain lions for cub enumeration as cubs are

born throughout the year annually when kittens are between 4 and 6 weeks old. Preliminary

reports will be submitted annually to the Safari Club International Foundation with a final report

submitted in the winter of 2019. In addition, all results will be published in scientific peer

reviewed journals.

Discuss the expected results and deliverables of the project.

Predictions for our a priori hypotheses anticipated are listed in table 1. Competitive interactions

may affect the re-colonization ability of large carnivores and subsequent influence on the

demography of existing large carnivore and prey species. These dynamics are particularly

important to understand in working landscapes, where one or both carnivore species may be

hunted for sport or subsistence since populations experiencing kleptoparasitism will likely be

lower than models based on prey availability or harvest statistics alone would predict,

particularly in fragmented habitat (Linnell & Strand 2000). Furthermore, the recovery of

overexploited populations of subordinate carnivores may be slowed or halted where dominant

competing carnivore species have re-colonized (refs in Linnell & Strand 2000).

We anticipate that interference competition will result in mountain lions having a more

general diet where bears are present, potentially resulting in an increased proportion of their

diet being comprised of domestic livestock and increasing kill rates on mule deer to compensate

for losses of food items to bears (Murphy et al. 1998). We predict that this increase in predation

pressure on mule deer populations will result in mule deer mortality being increasingly additive

as the density of bears increases (i.e., deer populations being held at lower densities in areas

where bear density is greater).

Hypothesis Prediction Resulting Human-Carnivore Conflict 1. Lions facilitate expansion of bears into historic ranges

1a Bears that have higher kleptoparasitism rates will have greater lifetime reproductive success

Expansion of bears into historic ranges --> Increased conflict with humans (and subsequent bear mortality) in valleys bears cross where expanding range

1b Movement of bears will show attraction to lions or lion kills

2. Lions change predation behavior in response to competition with bears

2a 2b

Lions will increase kill rates on primary prey (mule deer) Lions will show increased predation on domestic livestock in ranges where bears are newly present

Competition with humans for prey (mule deer) Livestock Depredation

3. Bear re-colonization directly and indirectly impacts mule deer

3a Mortality of mule deer will be increasingly additive as the density of bears increases (due to increased mountain lion kill rates)

Competition with humans for prey (mule deer)

4. Bear re-colonization has negative effect on lion populations 5. Bear re-colonization has positive effect on habitat condition.

3b 4a 4b 4c

Bears increasingly prey on “naïve” deer. (i.e. fawns in recently re-colonized ranges compared to ranges where bears have been established long-term) Lions will have lower indices of lifetime reproductive success in ranges with increasing densities of bears Movement of lions will show avoidance of bears Areas of increased conflict = increased mortality 5a Bears help reduce wide population swings in mule deer. 5b Sagebrush steppe range conditions respond favorably.

May push lions into areas where they come into contact with humans/livestock increasing predation on domestic Animals

Deliverables

Deliverables will include formal semi-annual written reports outlining progress and end

of year reports with preliminary results pertaining to hypothesis and predictions outlined above.

We will provide a short article written for the general public to illustrate the importance of the

research. We will provide copy of all peer-reviewed articles and popular media resulting from

the research. In addition to photographs of the research, we will provide a professionally

produced mini-documentary style film documenting the research, findings, and how results will

be used to influence policy and wildlife management. The film will be produced by NineCaribou

Productions.

Explain how this project benefits the overall conservation or sustainable use of a species

or habitat.

Because the majority of our knowledge of large carnivores (especially re-colonizing

carnivores) comes from research conducted in and around national parks, our understanding of

large carnivores in working landscapes is limited. However, this knowledge is essential for the

long-term persistence of large mammal species that are affected intensely by human-altered

landscapes and for wildlife managers to determine sustainable harvest limits. This is particularly

true in the Great Basin where the suite of interacting large mammal species (i.e., bears, mountain

lions, deer, feral horses) is vastly different than it was just over 100 years ago when mountain

lions and mule deer were almost non-existent but bears were abundant (Berger and Wehausen

1991). These changes in species composition arose from alteration to the landscape by humans

and understanding how the system functions with a new suite of large game (including

carnivores re-colonizing historic habitat) is important to help make informed management

decisions for these three important big game species.

Further, long-term data sets, particularly pertaining to large carnivores that evoke

polarized emotions, help to ensure management decisions are grounded in science (as opposed to

input from local interest groups) and increases the probability that species are able to be

successfully managed for long-term survival and sustainable use (e.g. sport harvest). Two

examples from our study area highlight this point: (1) The first black bear season in Nevada

(2011) was met with resistance from an anti-bear hunting segment of the public. However,

because long-term research had been conducted on black bears in Nevada, NDOW was able to

Page 141: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

185

illustrate that proposed harvest numbers were sustainable and scientifically justifiable (Lackey et

al. 2013); (2) On the opposite end of the spectrum, a long-term lack of data on mountain lions

and interactions with ungulate prey has led to equal controversy with proposals to classify

mountain lions as an unprotected species with unregulated take (i.e. State legislative bill AB

256). Moreover, without data, it would be just as easy to argue for a call to ban hunting of

mountain lions as was done in the neighboring state of California. A solid understanding of the

ecology and dynamics of these charismatic species which attract a large amount of public

attention is important for their long-term persistence in a changing environment, particularly if

expansion into all historic range and the maintenance of a sustainable harvest are goals. The

research we began in 2009 was the first research to be conducted on mountain lions in Nevada

since the 1970s. Continuing to collect data and address new questions is essential to ensure that

management decisions are scientifically grounded and not driven by input from local interest

groups.

Finally, if we find that interactions between bears and mountain lions increase predation

on mule deer and human-carnivore conflict, it may have regional implications as mule deer are in

decline across the west (Robinson et al. 2002). Furthermore, local management of mule deer

populations may be impacted by differences in additive compared to compensatory mortality in

management units with varying sources of predation from apex predators. Mountain lions are

found throughout western North America and black bear populations are in nearly all states that

contain mountain lions and have been reported to be increasing over the last 20 years and appear

to be expanding geographically in many areas as well (Williamson 2002). Knowledge from the

Great Basin, where black bears are re-colonizing historic ranges, mountain lions are present, and

long-term projects are already underway may provide insight regarding re-colonization,

subsequent effects on existing carnivore and prey populations to other working landscapes

throughout North America.

Describe any additional social, political or economic benefits of the

proposed project.

Because competition with carnivores for game and livestock species imposes

economic losses for rural communities (Berger 2006), understanding how to minimize

Page 142: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

186

economic losses (i.e., maintain balance between predator and prey & minimize conflict

with livestock) is imperative as large carnivore re-expand into historic ranges. This is

particularly true if we want communities to support natural re-colonization of large

carnivores into historic ranges and enjoy the ecological benefits of large carnivores

where they exist (i.e., increased biodiversity).We are addressing questions that will help

minimize economic losses to rural communities and local ranchers by understanding

factors that influence predation rates and prey selection of mountain lions. Finally, we

will work across social and political boundaries such that various stakeholders are

informed with the most current information upon which they can base their decisions.

We will continue to do this by providing presentations to the community, various

stakeholders and local interest groups with varied backgrounds and opinions.

Are there additional administrative elements, such as obtaining a permit

from a third party, that are needed before a project can proceed?

No, scientific collection permits have already been secured from the Nevada Department

of Wildlife for capture and handling of black bear, mountain lion, and mule deer.

Please provide the qualifications (vitae) of your organization, project

administrator, and/or partners to complete the project.

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is dedicated to saving wildlife and wildlands.

That mission is achieved through a science-based conservation program that protects

some 50 living landscapes around the world and manages more than 400 field projects

in 62 countries. WCS has been an active force in North American conservation and

management since 1895. Bison reintroduction, legislation to protect endangered

wildlife, and the establishment of more than twenty parks and reserves were early WCS

accomplishments. Pioneering studies of bighorn sheep, elk, and cougars among other

species all benefited from WCS support. Today the WCS North America Program takes a

science-based approach to conservation in more than forty projects in twenty-one states

and provinces. Key issues include wildlife monitoring and recovery, ecosystem

restoration, integrated landscape management, and community-based conservation. To

Analyst with WCS for the North America Program. Alyson is currently involved with

efforts to understand the impacts of roads on migration of moose and elk in the Greater

Yellowstone Ecosystem. Alyson obtained her Master’s degree from the University of

Colorado, Colorado Springs and is completing her PhD in Ecology, Evolution, and

Conservation Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Alyson initiated her PhD

research in the Great Basin as a collaborative effort with WCS to examine how human-

altered environments affect mountain lion ecology, behavior, and population dynamics.

Her research in the Great Basin has led to a greater understanding of how source-sink

dynamics of large carnivores may operate at a landscape scale and how predation

behavior and population dynamics of mountain lions may be affected by the presence of

a novel food resource (feral horses). Alyson’s research with species such as mountain

lions and bears that are challenging not only from a biological perspective, but also

politically and socially has made her passionate about working with a diverse array of

stakeholders with varied opinions and backgrounds to achieve conservation for these

species.

Project 33 Bi-State Sage-Grouse Habitat (Piñon-Juniper) (Area 20) Details

Sub-Grant Language With NGO (perhaps FNW)

Subgrantee            Subject:  Sub‐Grant Award ‐  Notice of Nevada Department of Wildlife’s Bi‐State Greater Sage‐grouse Brood Habitat Restoration Sub‐Grant Award  Dear Subgrantee,  

1. Subgrantee has been awarded Sub-Grant #02-23-40-00-33 from the Department’s Predation Management Program in the amount of $25,000 for the time period of 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

2. The purpose of this award is to recover sagebrush steppe bird, reptile and small mammal habitat with an emphasis on Bi-State Greater Sage-grouse transitional range between their low elevation leking/nesting habitat and their high-elevation brood rearing/water stress period habitat. The project is premised on the notion that where wildlife populations may be functioning at or near minimum population viability, adding additional suitable habitat acreage and travel corridors will improve carrying capacity of the species and therefore allow a population to better handle normal environmental stressors of predation, harsh winters and prolonged drought as well as anthropogenic threats to their habitat that may arise in other portions of their range in western Nevada. This is to carry out work agreed to between the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the National Audubon Society - Lahontan Chapter (NAS-LC) and the Carson Valley Chukar Club (CVCC). The work will be conducted in western Nevada in Douglas, Lyon and Mineral Counties.

3. In accepting these funds, it is understood that:

a. Expenditures must comply with appropriate state and/or federal regulations. b. This sub-grant award is subject to availability of appropriate funds. c. Subgrantee agrees to stipulations in Sections A, B, C of sub-grant award.

Stipulation D is required to be adhered to only if applicable.

SECTION B 

Description of services, scope of work, deliverables and reimbursement   

1. Brief Summary of Project  

NDOW has been working closely with the USFS, BLM and Lahontan Audubon (NAS‐LC) to identify those  areas  in  western  Nevada  that  continue  to  provide  the  Bi‐State  Greater  Sage‐grouse population  with  suitable  year  round  habitat.    In  delineating  these  areas,  it  has  come  to  our attention  that  a  significant  acreage  of  historical  sage‐grouse  habitat  has  filled  in  recently with singleleaf piñon (Pinus monophylla) and Utah  juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) woodland.      In the process, several travel corridors that sage‐grouse historically used to move from winter/spring to summer/fall ranges have filled in with woodland as well.  While these woodland areas harbor their own  suite of native bird, mammal and  reptile wildlife  species  (i.e. American kestrel, pinyon  jay, western scrub jay, sooty grouse, mountain bluebird, Townsend’s solitaire, ash‐throated flycatcher, mountain  chickadee,  black‐throated  gray  warbler,  dark‐eyed  junco,  Cassin’s  finch,  pine  siskin, western  tanager,  piñon mouse,  Panamint  chipmunk,  Townsend’s  big‐eared  bat,  ringtail,  Great Basin  rattlesnake,  Great  Basin  Skink,  etc),    the  rapid  conversion  from  sagebrush  steppe  to woodland  is putting  further  strain on an already  isolated and  small population of greater  sage‐grouse  as  well  as  on  a  suite  of  other  sagebrush  obligate  wildlife  species  (i.e.  prairie  falcon, Brewer’s sparrow, vesper sparrow, sage sparrow, lark sparrow, burrowing owl, loggerhead shrike, green‐tailed  towhee,  gray‐crowned  rosy‐finch,  Merriam’s  shrew,  sagebrush  vole,  Great  Basin pocket  mouse,  pygmy  rabbit,  mountain  cottontail,  black‐tailed  jackrabbit,  common  gray  fox, sagebrush lizard, western fence lizard, Great Basin gopher snake, etc).  The sheer magnitude of the recent habitat conversion from sagebrush steppe to piñon‐juniper woodland was revealed during earlier field work.  NDOW  is  partnering with  the  USFS,  BLM,  NAS‐LC  and  CVCC  to  hire  a  full‐time  Hand  Crew  to commence  work  in  late  early  2014  to  conduct  PJ  removal  work  in  oftentimes  steep,  narrow riparian  corridors  that  historically  connected winter/spring  to  summer/fall  greater  sage‐grouse habitats.    Because  of  the  nature  of  the  terrain  and  its wilderness  character,  all work will  be conducted  using  a  Minimum  Tool  strategy.    Work  will  be  concentrated  on  projects  sites  in southern Lyon and northern Mineral counties, and  funds permitting, some work  in Douglas and northern Lyon counties as well (Figure 1).  Given the large scope of the project, a completion date is hard to define.   However, given the estimates of hundreds of hectares of potential sagebrush steppe habitat restoration, the project is expected to take three to five years to complete.  In addition to funding provided by NDOW’s Predation Management Program, funds are also being leveraged  through  NDOW’s  Habitat  Restoration,  Heritage  and  Upland  Game  Stamp  Programs.  Two NGOs,  Lahontan Audubon  and  the Carson Valley Chukar Club may  also provide  additional grants specific to this project.

Project Proposal  

I. Brief Description of the Need for the Project:  Greater sage‐grouse in Nevada’s Bi‐State 

Population Management Unit are experiencing significant stresses to their native habitats.  

These impacts threaten the very long term existence of sage grouse in western Nevada and 

eastern California.  This project attempts to help reverse these trends. 

 

II. Project Purpose and Objectives:  Recover sagebrush steppe bird, reptile and small mammal 

habitat with an emphasis on Bi‐State Greater Sage‐Grouse transitional range between their low 

elevation leking/nesting habitats and high‐elevation brood rearing/water stress period habitats.  

The project is premised on the notion that where wildlife populations may be functioning at or 

near minimum population viability, adding additional suitable habitat acreage and travel 

corridors will improve carrying capacity of species and therefore allow wildlife populations to 

Page 162: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

206

better handle normal environmental stressors of wildfire, predation, harsh winters and 

prolonged drought as well as anthropogenic threats to their habitat that may arise in other 

portions of their range in western Nevada.  This effort is designed to compliment work agreed 

to already between the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), private landowners, the U.S. 

Forest Service (USFS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  Efforts are also underway 

to include the local Audubon Society ‐ Lahontan Chapter (NAS‐LC) and Carson Valley Chukar 

Club (CVCC) as project partners.  

 

III. Project Location:  This work will be conducted in western Nevada in Douglas, Lyon, Mineral 

and possibly Esmeralda counties in high priority greater sage‐grouse habitats.  Specifically, the 

first year’s work will focus on private lands and areas of public land that have current NEPA 

clearance (Figure 1).

IV. Describe the Specific Benefits of this Project:  NDOW has been working closely with the 

USFS, BLM and Lahontan Audubon (NAS‐LC) to identify those areas in western Nevada that 

continue to provide the Bi‐State greater sage‐grouse population with suitable year round 

habitat.  In delineating these areas, it has come to our attention that a significant acreage of 

historical sage‐grouse habitat has filled in recently with singleleaf piñon (Pinus monophylla) and 

Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) woodland (PJ).   In the process, several travel corridors that 

sage‐grouse historically used to move from winter/spring to summer/fall ranges have filled in 

Page 164: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

208

with woodland as well.  While these woodland areas harbor their own suite of native bird, 

mammal and reptile wildlife species (i.e. American kestrel, pinyon jay, western scrub jay, sooty 

grouse, mountain bluebird, Townsend’s solitaire, ash‐throated flycatcher, mountain chickadee, 

black‐throated gray warbler, dark‐eyed junco, Cassin’s finch, pine siskin, western tanager, 

piñon mouse, Panamint chipmunk, Townsend’s big‐eared bat, ringtail, Great Basin rattlesnake, 

Great Basin Skink, etc),  the rapid conversion from sagebrush steppe to woodland is putting 

further strain on an already isolated and small population of greater sage‐grouse as well as on 

a suite of other sagebrush obligate wildlife species (i.e. prairie falcon, Brewer’s sparrow, vesper 

sparrow, sage sparrow, lark sparrow, burrowing owl, loggerhead shrike, green‐tailed towhee, 

gray‐crowned rosy‐finch, Merriam’s shrew, sagebrush vole, Great Basin pocket mouse, pygmy 

rabbit, mountain cottontail, black‐tailed jackrabbit, common gray fox, sagebrush lizard, 

western fence lizard, Great Basin gopher snake, etc).  The sheer magnitude of the recent habitat 

conversion from sagebrush steppe to piñon‐juniper woodland was revealed during earlier field 

work. 

 

NDOW wants to partner with the USFS, BLM, NAS‐LC and CVCC to hire a fulltime Hand 

Crew to commence work in late 2013 to conduct PJ removal work in oftentimes steep, narrow 

riparian and sage/steppe corridors that historically connected winter/spring and summer/fall 

greater sage‐grouse habitats.  Because of the nature of the terrain and its wilderness character, 

all work will be conducted using a Minimum Tool strategy.  The specific benefit of the project 

is that it will bridge a gap between valley and mountain sage‐brush steppe habitats in areas 

where, due to the rugged terrain, mechanical PJ treatment work has not been possible.   

 

V. Project Approach:  Remove all piñon‐juniper trees and saplings from a 100 meter swath 

moving up targeted draws/drainages as trees are removed.  Use hand saws, crosscut saws and 

other hand tools to kill and remove trees.  No motorized tools will be allowed.  Buck up all 

trees and physically remove them from the treatment corridor, preferably scattering them in 

adjacent piñon‐juniper habitat.  An alternative of piling and burning wood debris on site 

during winter will be explored as well.  Following woodland removal, use shoulder‐mounted 

hand‐ crank seed hoppers to hand‐broadcast native sagebrush steppe seed mixtures where 

appropriate.  Contractor will be required to camp on site at remote project locations in all 

seasons to increase efficiency and reduce travel costs. 

 

VI. Project Schedule:  Fiscal Year 2013 ‐ 18 December 2013 to 30 June 2014.  Given the large scope 

of the project, a completion date is hard to define.  However, given the estimates of hundreds 

of hectares of potential sagebrush steppe habitat restoration, the project is expected to take 

three to five years to complete. 

 

VII. Relationship to NDOW Plans, Policies and Programs:  Sagebrush steppe habitat restoration is 

identified as one of the highest priorities in NDOW’s Wildlife Action Plan.  Specifically, 

sagebrush obligate and high use species such as the  greater sage‐grouse, Brewer’s sparrow, 

sage sparrow, mule deer, mountain quail and pygmy rabbit are all singled out for special 

consideration in sagebrush habitat restoration prioritization; all species that could benefit 

directly from this project.

VIII. Other Projects or Activities that Need to Be Accomplished Before this Project Can Be 

Completed:  This project is shovel‐ready.  

 

 

IX. Describe How the Effects of the Project will be Measured and Monitored:  Floral and faunal 

species diversity will be documented in the treatment sites before, during and after operations 

for each project site.  This shall include before and after photos of the treated project areas.  

Total hectares treated per area (GPS polygon data), project area starting and completion dates, 

total work days per project area and any additional notes (i.e. weather delays, unique species, 

etc) will be required as part of a quarterly reporting regimen from the contractor.  Specifically, 

for greater sage‐grouse,  both lek, brood  and high elevation  late summer/fall population 

surveys will be required of the contractor before and after each operation as is deemed

BACKGROUND Pinyon-Juniper Encroachment

Since the mid 1800s, the cover, density, and mean age of singleleaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla) and juniper (Juniperus spp. primarily Juniperus osteosperma), have increased across the Great Basin at the expense of ecosystems dominated by sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and other native shrubs, grasses, and forbs. Higher woody fuel loads and associated changes in stand structure alter fire behavior, resulting in a trend away from relatively moderate fires toward infrequent but high severity fires. High severity fires can increase the susceptibility of low to mid-elevation woodlands to cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and other invasive non- native species. Pinyon-juniper woodland expansion has replaced shrub-steppe vegetation, leading to increases in hazardous woody fuels, loss of sagebrush habitats for wildlife, decreases in species diversity, reduction or loss of seed banks, decreases in aquifer recharge, and increases in soil erosion rates (Koniak and Everett 1982, Wilcox and Breshears 1994, Davenport et al. 1998, West, 1999, Miller et al. 2000). One of the main concerns with pinyon-juniper woodlands on the Bridgeport District is the conversion of Phase 1 and 2 (low and medium canopy closure) to Phase 3 (canopy closure and loss of understory vegetation). Miller et al. (2008) estimate a 2 percent annual conversion rate of pinyon-juniper woodlands to Phase 3 in the Great Basin. Based on the 2 percent annual conversion rate (approximately 316,384 total acres of pinyon-juniper on the Bridgeport District; 253,107 acres in Phase 1 and 2), approximately 5,062 acres a year are being converted to Phase 3 (D. Dong, Personal Communication, 03/06/2013). As pinyon-juniper woodlands move from Phase 1 and 2 into Phase 3, restoration of sagebrush-steppe communities becomes more difficult and costly. Proactive management can provide positive use of pinyon-juniper fuels while reducing the risk of high severity wildfires, reducing the risk of cheatgrass invasion following high severity fires, and restoring sagebrush-steppe communities. Treating pinyon-juniper on a landscape scale can reduce future fire suppression costs, protect intact sagebrush-steppe communities from high severity wildfire, and improve the likelihood of restoring areas to sagebrush-steppe communities by targeting Phase 1 and 2 pinyon-juniper woodlands for

Page 167: Project 21 Greater Sage-Grouse Protection (Statewide ......female prior to grouse initiating nest defense. .....36 13. Still images from video recordings at a sage-grouse nest in the

treatment before conversion occurs.

Bi-State Sage-Grouse The greater sage-grouse is a candidate for protection under the Endangered Species Act. Sage- grouse on the Bridgeport District are part of a distinct population segment (DPS) of the greater sage-grouse. This DPS, called the Bi-state population, was given a higher priority for listing than the greater sage-grouse as a whole due to the presence of more immediate and severe threats. Threats include habitat loss caused by development, grazing, invasive species, pinyon- juniper encroachment, and wildfire. Expansion of pinyon-juniper results in loss and fragmentation of suitable habitat for sage-grouse through removal of understory shrubs, grasses, and forbs needed for adult and chick survival, loss and drying of meadow (brood-rearing) habitat, increases in perching opportunities for raptors (increased predation rate), sage-grouse avoidance of pinyon-juniper stands, and increased risk of high severity wildfire (Bi-State Action Plan, 2012). The Bi-State Action Plan (2012) identifies pinyon-juniper encroachment and wildfire as high level threats for the Desert Creek-Fales and Mount Grant Bi-state sage-grouse PMUs. The priority conservation strategies identified in the Bi-State Action Plan are as follows: Desert Creek-Fales PMU: "Treat pinyon-juniper encroachment in potential nesting and connectivity habitats and around historic springs where spring flow may be restored by tree removal; and minimize large scale habitat loss due to wildfire by implementing fuel reduction treatments…" Mount Grant PMU: "Treat pinyon-juniper encroachment to increase the availability of nesting habitat especially at lower elevations and to facilitate connectivity within and among populations; and minimize large scale habitat loss due to wildfire by implementing fuel reduction treatments…" Approximately 30,704 acres of the project area are within the Desert Creek-Fales PMU and the remaining 10,646 acres are in the Mount Grant PMU (Figure 2). The project area also includes 26,746 acres designated as Preliminary Priority Habitat (PPH) for Bi-state sage-grouse (Figure 2). PPH was identified and designated by the Bi-State Technical Advisory Committee using a modeling approach based on sage-grouse lek locations and telemetry data. Pinyon-juniper treatments are planned both within and adjacent to PPH habitat to improve habitat quality, increase connectivity, and reduce risk of wildfire.

PURPOSE AND NEED FOR ACTION The purpose of this project is to improve, enhance, and protect Bi-state sage-grouse habitat, increase habitat connectivity by reducing pinyon-juniper encroachment into sagebrush ecosystems, and reduce the risk of high severity wildfire to sage-grouse habitat and private property. The need for this project is to address the priority conservation strategies for the Desert Creek-Fales and Mount Grant PMUs as identified in the Bi-State Action Plan (2012) and to reduce hazardous fuels in priority sage-grouse habitat, the WUI, and surrounding areas. PROPOSED ACTION

212

The Forest Service and NDOW proposes to remove pinyon pine and juniper using a combination of mechanical methods and prescribed fire on up to 41,350 acres within the project area. The project area includes the East Walker Landscape Habitat Improvement Projects Area, Long Doctor, Bald Mountain, and China Camp Areas. Mechanical methods would be emphasized on slopes less than 35 percent and around private lands to reduce the risk of wildfire, improve the health and diversity of vegetation, and improve the quality of wildlife habitat in areas where the use of prescribed fire would not achieve desired objectives or would be difficult to implement. The majority of trees in the project area are pinyon pine. Treatments would primarily focus on Phase 1 and Phase 2 pinyon and juniper stands (Table 1). Some areas of Phase 3 pinyon may also be treated as necessary to increase habitat connectivity and reduce the risk of wildfire to adjacent sagebrush habitats. Treatments may include the complete removal of trees (all live trees exceeding 1 foot in total height would be completely severed from the stump) or thinning (select trees would be removed from the stand). Tree removal and cutting would be avoided in true pinyon-juniper woodland ecological sites (pre-settlement trees). No identifiable pre-settlement trees would be targeted for removal. These trees can be identified on the landscape by their flattened, rounded, and or asymmetrical crowns, which stand well above the surrounding younger trees (typically shorter with conical crowns that display a pointed tip).

Table 1: Description of Woodland Phases. Adapted from Miller et al. (2000, 2005, and

2008).

Phase Description 0 No trees present, or the trees present are :S 10 per acre.1 Small trees are present, but shrubs, grasses, and forbs dominate the vegetation

that influences ecological processes (hydrology, nutrient cycles, and energy capture) on the site.

2 Trees co-dominate with shrubs, grasses, and forbs. All vegetation layers influence ecological processes. Trees grow fast (have pointed tops) and bigger trees may produce many berries or pine nuts. Late Phase 2 has more fuel, produces more heat during fire, and has weaker understory vegetation for site recovery.

3 Trees are the dominant vegetation and the primary plant layer influencingecological processes on the site. Tree growth slow (tops become rounded) while seed production declines. When tree cover exceeds 60% of the total vegetation cover, most understory vegetation is dying or dead.

Pre- settlement

These trees can be identified on the landscape by their flattened, rounded, and or asymmetrical crowns, which stand well above the surrounding younger trees (typically shorter with conical crowns that display a pointed tip).

Description of Potential Treatments Lop and Scatter – Hand crews would use chainsaws to fell trees within the treatment unit. Treatments may include complete removal (all live trees exceeding 1 foot in total height would be completely severed from the stump) or thinning (select trees would be removed from the stand). Trees would be left on site to decompose naturally. Depending on the size of the trees, limbs would be lopped and scattered into natural openings on the ground to facilitate decomposition.

Cut and Pile Burn - Hand crews would use chainsaws to fell trees within the treatment unit. Slash would be piled by hand and hand piles would be constructed in a tight, compact fashion. Pile diameter would be between 6 and 10 feet. Wherever possible, hand piles would be constructed on top of cut stumps and in openings created by removal of larger trees. Piles would be burned under favorable conditions once the slash has cured, typically the following fall/winter.

Mastication - Heavy equipment would be used to remove and grind trees. Heavy equipment may include wheeled or tracked vehicles. Complete removal of trees (all live trees exceeding 1 foot in total height would be completely severed from the stump) or thinning (select trees would be removed from the stand) may be used. Masticated material would be spread and left on site to decompose naturally. Mastication would primarily be used in areas with less than 35 percent slope.

214

Prescribed Fire – Prescribed fire would be used to reduce pinyon-juniper densities and improve structural and age class diversity within sagebrush and mountain brush communities. Prescribed fire treatments would typically be used to treat pinyon-juniper at mid elevations and on slopes greater than 35 percent, but may be used in other areas as appropriate. Prescribed fire treatments may occur during any season of the year within established prescriptions. A prescribed burn plan written by a qualified burn boss would be followed. Burned openings would typically range from 0.25 to 200 acres in size and would create a mosaic pattern across the landscape. Size of openings may vary depending on the vegetation community and intensity of the burn, some larger openings may be created due to the unpredictable nature of fire and weather conditions. Prescribed fire treatments may include ground ignition (drip torches and or flares), aerial ignition (helicopter/helitorch and or Plastic Sphere Dispenser (PSD)), and management of naturally occurring wildfires for resource benefits. Ground support staging areas would occur on existing roads or in designated areas. Hand lines may be used on a limited basis to protect archaeological resources, private lands, or other high value resources. Firefighting resources would be present to ensure full containment of the prescribed fire within the project area.

The target areas for prescribed fire treatments include Phase 1, Phase 2, and limited areas of Phase 3 pinyon-juniper stands. No ignition of pre-settlement trees would occur; however, pre- settlement trees adjacent to target areas may be scorched or killed. Prescribed fire would not be used in areas where the risk of cheatgrass increase is high, particularly on steep south facing slopes that have lost herbaceous understory vegetation.

Commercial and Personal Use Fuelwood Removal – Personal use fuelwood removal permits and commercial fuelwood contracts would be sold to cut and remove pinyon pine and juniper in designated areas. Slash would be lopped and scattered or piled by hand and burned under favorable conditions once the slash has cured.

Seeding Native Species – A native species seed mix appropriate for the site and collected locally when possible may be used if native recruitment is less than desired following treatment. Seeds would be certified "weed free" and seeding would occur through hand, mechanical, or aerial application.

Potential Treatments by Unit See Figure 3 for unit boundaries and Table 1 for description of woodland phases.

Treatments may include lop and scatter, cut and pile burn, mastication, prescribed fire, and seeding. Relevant Project Design Features Wildlife

• When possible, treatments would be timed to avoid potential destruction of migratory bird nests or young birds. If mechanical treatments were planned during the breeding season (May 15-August 31), a qualified biologist would survey the area prior to treatment to determine if nests are present. If nests or evidence of nesting are observed, a protective buffer would be delineated to prevent destruction or disturbance to nests until they are no longer active. If prescribed fire treatments were planned during the breeding season, ignition activities would be less than two weeks in duration to allow migratory birds that may lose their nest to re-nest.

• No treatments would occur during the sage-grouse breeding, nesting, and early brood-

rearing season (March 1 - June 30) in areas identified as sage-grouse breeding, nesting, and early brood-rearing habitat. Treatments may occur during this time period in some areas within the project boundary where a biological evaluation determines that treatments are unlikely to result in disturbance to sage-grouse.

• Treatments would not occur in key mule deer areas during the fawning season (June 15 -

July 15). Vegetation:

• Pinyon pine tree thinning and mastication may only occur from July 1 - December 31 in areas where pinyon engraver bark beetle (Ips confuses) infestation is identified as a concern.

• In areas adjacent to pre-settlement trees, pinyon pine tree boles and limbs greater than 4 inches in diameter at root collar (DRC) would be bucked into rounds less than 2-feet in length. These rounds and limbs would be moved away from residual pre-settlement trees to reduce the chance of pinyon engraver bark beetle (Ips confuses) infestation.

• Prescribed fire ignition would not occur on rocky outcrops to avoid burning pre-

settlement trees and rare plant communities.

Noxious Weeds/Invasive Species:

• As needed, control of noxious weeds and invasive species would be done under the Forest's approved treatment program.

• Contract equipment would be washed and inspected prior to entering National Forest

System lands to remove any soil and debris that may harbor noxious weed seeds.

• Areas with higher concentrations of cheatgrass and or medusa head would be evaluated prior to any prescribed burning and or mastication activity to determine the risk of spreading these weeds following implementation. If the risk of cheatgrass spread is considered high, the site would be avoided or mitigated with pretreatment and seeding of native grasses.

Soils and Water:

• No trees would be removed from areas where they provide stream bank stability.

• Ground based equipment would only cross at established stream crossings.

• Pile burning would be minimized in riparian areas (ecosystems that occur along

watercourses or water bodies that have unique soil and plant characteristics).

• Generally, ground based equipment would operate on slopes less than 35 percent (30% on decomposed granite soils). Ground based operations may occur on slopes up to 50 percent on short pitches of 150 feet or less; these would be designed on a unit by unit basis only after soil stability, soil rock content, and the location of the steep slope in relation to the remaining portions of the treatment unit have been determined to be appropriate by the Forest Service.

• Motorized equipment would not be used when soils are saturated.

• To mitigate ground disturbance during mastication, track equipment operators would

avoid making abundant sharp right angle turns. Instead a gentle curved pattern with the least amount of sharp angles would be utilized during implementation to reduce ground disturbance. Different routes would be used to avoid creating the appearance of trails. Debris would be spread and berms shoveled down to retain a natural appearance.

Prescribed Fire:

• All federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to prescribed burning and smoke management would be followed. A U.S. Forest Service (Region 4) burn plan is required to be completed and approved before burning is initiated.

• Roads within the project area may be closed to the public for the brief time that

prescribed fire operations are in progress.

• Prior to implementation of prescribed burn treatments, a news release would be distributed to media contacts and public notification would occur to advise the local community and residents of the prescribed burning and any temporary road closures.

General:

• No vegetation treatments would be allowed during periods of high fire danger. Full or

partial shutdown days due to high fire danger conditions would be based on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Project Activity Level (PAL) system.

• No toxic materials or fluids would be used or disposed of on site.

• No new or temporary roads would be constructed.

• Mechanical treatments within the project area may require vehicles to travel off

established roads. Following completion of mechanical treatments, any skid trails or locations used by vehicles off established roads would be re-vegetated to ensure that unauthorized roads and or trails do not develop.

• Commercial fuelwood permits may allow vehicles to travel off established roads in the

treatment area if determined to be necessary and appropriate for site conditions by the Forest Service.
