Aransas-Wood Buffalo Whooping Crane Migratory Flight Path Density

Density of migratory flight paths in boreal and Peace Lowland ecoregions of Alberta and Saskatchewan by whooping cranes of the Aransas-Wood Buffalo Population marked with leg-mounted global positioning system (GPS) transmitters. Density was determined by computing the total distance (km) per km2 of individual flight paths that were inferred from GPS locations.
