Summary
The Aransas-Wood Buffalo population of whooping cranes migrates through the U.S. Great Plains twice annually, moving between wintering areas along coastal Texas and summering areas in and around Wood Buffalo National Park, Canada. These data support development of resource utilization functions that were used to predict wintering use of whooping cranes outside of their historic coastal wintering areas.

Purpose
These data were used to summarize use of wintering whooping cranes inland from coastal wintering sites. Use of this area is a recent phenomenon, and these data were used in conjunction with environmental variables to predict use of the portions of the Southern Subhumid Gulf Coast Prairies and Northern Humid Gulf Coast Prairies.
