Abstract:

A mountain quail (Oreortyx pictus) habitat model developed with data from northern California was tested using data from 750 plots measured at 16 sites in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Nevada. Accuracy of model output was assessed using habitat data from sites known to support mountain quail populations. In 15 of 16 instances, the model accurately predicted that a test site represented mountain quail habitat. These tests represent one method for habitat model evaluation. Additional strategies for testing this data-based habitat model are discussed.
