Fig. 1. Nest density of upland sandpipers during spring, southcentral North Dakota, 1981-87. Symbols indicate when grazing occurred: GIF - One Filled Dot

= Light spring and summer grazing, June-September. GIF - Two Filled Dots

= Heavy spring grazing, May-June. GIF - Two Empty Dots

= Heavy grazing during previous autumn.
