  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;We report movements and home-range sizes of adult Mountain Plovers (&lt;i&gt;Charadrius montanus&lt;/i&gt;) with broods on rangeland, agricultural fields, and prairie dog habitats in eastern Colorado. Estimates of home range size (95% fixed kernel) were similar across the three habitats: rangeland (146.1 ha ± 101.5), agricultural fields (131.6 ha ± 74.4), and prairie dog towns (243.3 ha ± 366.3). Our minimum convex polygon estimates of home-range size were comparable to those on rangeland reported by &lt;a class="ref" onclick="popRef2('i0043-5643-117-2-128-Knopf2','','','' ); return false;"&gt;Knopf and Rupert (1996)&lt;/a&gt;. In addition, movements—defined as the distance between consecutive locations of adults with broods—were equivalent across habitats. However, our findings on prairie dog habitat suggest that home-range size for brood rearing may be related to whether the prairie dog habitat is in a complex of towns or in an isolated town.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
