Foraging-sites and day-roosting used by brown-eared pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum) were investigated by using line transects in Huanglong Mountains of Shaanxi province during February and March of 2006. Brown-eared pheasant preferred foraging-sites characterized by lower altitude and slope location, smaller slope degree, nearer distance to trail, gully, fewer variety, density and cover of trees and shrubs, smaller cover and height of grasses, and higher visibility class. Brown-eared pheasant like roosting-sites characterized by half sunny slope, smaller slope degree, farther distance to trail, bigger cover of trees, smaller density and height of shrubs, lower height of grasses and lower visibility class. The overall classification model developed from those five variables was successful to distinguish a habitat from randomly used sites ones at probability of 96.08%. Geographical character, density of trees, density and variety of shrubs and cover of grasses were critical factors to discriminate foraging-sites from random plots. The overall classification model developed from those four variables was successful to distinguish used sites from random ones at probability of 75.64%. Slope degree, slope aspect, distance to trail, and cover of trees were critical factors to discriminate day-roosting from random plots.
