Mule Deer Migration Corridors - Kern River - 2020-2022 [ds2977]

Migration corridor, stopover, and winter range locations for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) developed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) for the Kern River herd in Tulare County, California. Corridors, stopovers, and winter ranges were developed in Migration Mapper with Brownian Bridge Movement Models using GPS locations from collared deer. Migration corridors represent movement routes used by deer between winter and summer range habitats. Medium and high use corridors were used by greater than or equal to 10% and greater than or equal to 20% of the animals sampled, respectively. Migration stopovers and winter range polygons represent high use areas during migration and winter, respectively.
