Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703–712) designates the Department of the Interior as the primary agency responsible for managing migratory bird populations frequenting the United States and setting hunting regulations that allow for the well-being of migratory bird populations. These responsibilities dictate that we gather accurate data on various characteristics of migratory bird populations. The Service’s fall survey for the eastern population of the sandhill crane was established in 1979. It is implemented by State and Federal agencies and public volunteers from VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:09 Mar 19, 2025 Jkt 265001 eight States in the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways, as well as Ontario, Canada. Sandhill cranes are widely dispersed during the breeding and wintering seasons and are difficult to count. The optimal time to survey cranes is during the last week of October, when the majority of eastern population cranes breeding in Canada migrate to traditional staging grounds in the Great Lakes States (e.g., the JasperPulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, in Medaryville, Indiana). Since the initial survey in 1979, crane numbers have increased to over 90,000 birds. The information collected through this survey is vital in assessing the relative changes in the geographic distribution of the species. We use the information primarily to inform managers of changes in sandhill crane distribution and population trends. Without information on the population’s status, we might promulgate hunting regulations that: • Are not sufficiently restrictive, which could cause harm to the sandhill crane population, or • Are too restrictive, which would unduly restrict recreational opportunities afforded by sandhill crane hunting. Notifications for the survey are sent to volunteers, and data results are entered into the data portal (https:// www.fws.gov/epsandhill/) in order to calculate numbers of sandhill cranes. This survey is conducted via an online survey platform to reduce cost, improve data quality, and decrease respondent burden. This survey has no statistical design. We collect the following information in conjunction with the account setup process and survey data submission: • Account setup process: —Email address, —Username, —Photo (optional), —Option for other users to contact the registrant, —Time zone, —First and last name, —Phone number, and —Start date. • Survey data submission: —Data submission location via online map, —Date and time of observation, —Number of cranes, —Method (ground count or point count), —Habitat (agricultural field, sandbar, wetland, or mixed-wetland agricultural field), and —Any additional notes the user would like to submit.
