| | The Mountain (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The mountain plover is similar in size and appearance to a killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), eats primarily insects, and is associated with short grass and shrub-steppe landscapes throughout its breeding and wintering range. |
 | | Because mountain plover nests, eggs, and chicks are being taken by spring tilling practices, but the implications of this loss to the mountain plover population are not known, the USGS-BRD, in coordination with the Service, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, and the Colorado Farm Bureau, initiated scientific research in 2001 on cultivated fields and rangelands. |
 | | The proposed special regulation for the mountain plover is being developed as an integral component of the mountain plover listing action we proposed in 1999 (64 FR 7587), and for which we are giving notification of the reopening of the comment period today. |
