We quantified nest site characteristics, breeding densities, and migratory chronology of Long-billed Curlews at Great Salt Lake, Utah. The species is apparently declining in Utah, and little is know about their breeding ecology in the eastern Great Basin Desert. This study was designed to provide wildlife biologists with baseline data useful for their successful management. Curlews arrived in northern Utah in late March and generally departed by mid-August. Nest densities at Great Salt Lake ranged from 0.64 to 2.36 males/km2. The habitat at curlew nest sites consisted of significantly shorter vegetation than nearby random locations (xBAR = 5.7 versus 9.0 cm, respectively; P < .01). Nests tended to be located in small patches of vegetation near barren ground. Maintenance of relatively short vegetation appears to be important in managing curlew habitat. In addition, only 2 of 10 nests we monitored in 1992 were successful, with most lost to mammalian predators. Further research is needed to determine the impact of mammalian predators on curlew populations.
