Under alternatives D, E, F, and G, the potential effects to these species are reduced,<br />
particularly under alternatives E and D. Under alternative C, there is an increase in motorized<br />
routes in the mixed conifer habitat analysis areas. The potential to affect individuals under all<br />
action alternatives exists; but there will be no measurable negative effects on these migratory<br />
species. Unintentional take of individuals may occur, but these alternatives will not<br />
negatively affect population levels<br />
¹Species with the same determination by alternative – Williamson’s sapsucker, Olive-sided flycatcher, Dusky flycatcher, and Redfaced<br />
warbler<br />
*NA – No adverse effects to the population or habitat trends<br />
