If critters are covered by your telephoto lenses, then would a standard zoom lens option be for landscapes?
I'll suggest one other alternative here- Sigma's 17-70/2.8-4 OS C. Give up some of the range of the 15-85, get more light, but I'm not sure that would be preferable over a 17-55, given your subjects and the availability of a 70-200. The 17-55 is unsurpassed in it's class; the Sigma 18-35/1.8 is quite superior optically, to the point of being an aberration, but that 36mm-69mm gap may be too large; though it could be quickly filled with a 50mm prime.
What do you think?

John, thanks. I do have a 50mm F1.8 prime, the old version with the metal mount. As you said that would fill the gap nicely. The Sigma is really that much better?
I've read that the 17-55 is an 'L' lens in EFS colours, with excellent IQ, so if the Sigma beats it, then it must be spectacular.
Regards.....Pete
