Classification of native vegetation at the Woodworth Station, North Dakota
Native prairie areas on the Woodworth Station were sampled, classified, described, and mapped. Transect sites were selectively located along different soil moisture gradients. Data were collected from 292 plots using a modified Braun-Blanquet cover estimation technique. Trees and tall shrubs (over 2 m) were not sampled because they made up less than 1% of all cover. Eve vegetation classes were established based on growth forms. They were mixed grass, shrub, tall grass, broad-leaved forbs, and trees. Each class is divided into community types based on species composition. The mixed-grass class has blue grama, Kentucky bluegrass, and mixed native grasses. The shrub class is divided into low shrub, shrub grassland, and tall shrub. The tall-grass class includes little bluestem, big bluestem, bluestem Indian-grass, and prairie cordgrass. These results will provide baseline information for long-range plans on habitat management which are being developed for the Woodworth Station.

Fall foods of migrant common snipe in North Dakota
Studies of foods consumed by common snipe ( Capella gallinago ) during fall migration (Sperry 1940, Erickson 1941, Choate in Tuck 1972, Tuck 1972) have shown that diets vary among habitats. More recently, Fogarty and Arnold (1977) expressed the need for more detailed information on snipe food habits and more refined knowledge of the snipe's range and adaptability to various food situations. There is a paucity of information on snipe feeding ecology in the prairie pothole region of North America where unstable and unpredictable hydrological conditions affect abundance and availability of aquatic foods. The objectives of study were to (1) identify foods consumed by common snipe during fall migration in south-central North Dakota, and (2) describe changes in diet during years with different water regimes.
