For all Alternatives, it is determined that alternative 1, 2, and 3 MAY AFFECT, but are NOT LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT lynx, or lynx habitat. Sensitive Species Table 3.8-3. Summary of Findings for Region 2 Terrestrial Sensitive Species. Species General Habitat 1 No Action 2 Forest Condition INSECTS Great Basin silverspot butterfly AMPHIBIANS Boreal toad Bufo boreas boreas Northern leopard frog Rana pipiens BIRDS Bald eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus Black swift Cypseloides niger Boreal owl Aegolius funereus Burrowing owl Athene cunicularia Ferruginous hawk Buteo regalis Spring fed and/or subirrigated wetlands at low (7500 feet or less) elevation; larval food plant Viola nephrophylla; wet meadows interspersed with willows and other woody wetland species; adult nectar sources mostly composites. Spruce/fir near water and alpine meadows. Riparian and wetland areas. Nests and roosts are usually found in open-branched trees near larger lakes, streams, rivers and reservoirs. Nests behind or next to waterfalls and wet cliffs. Forages over forests and open areas. Mature spruce/fir and mixed conifer forested areas with preference for wet situations (bogs or streams) for foraging Open grasslands associated with prairie dogs. Nests and roosts in burrows dug by mammals or other animals. Open grasslands and shrub steppe communities. Nests in tall trees or shrubs along streams or on steep slopes NI NI NI MI MI MI MI MI MI NI NI NI NI NI NI MI MI MI NI NI NI NI NI NI 3 Watershed Health and Forest Condition Chapter 3 – Affected Environment & Environmental Consequences Page 3-44
Final Environmental Impact Statement Rio de los Pinos Vegetation Management Project Table 3.8-3. Summary of Findings for Region 2 Terrestrial Sensitive Species. Species General Habitat 1 No Action 2 Forest Condition Flammulated owl Otus flamineolus Sage sparrow Amphispiza belli Brewer’s sparrow Spizella breweri Northern goshawk Accipter gentiles Lewis’s woodpecker Melanerpes lewis Loggerhead shrike Lanius ludovicianus Depend on cavities for nesting, open forests for foraging, brush for roosting. Occupy open ponderosa pine or forests with similar features (dry montane conifer or aspen, with dense saplings). Grasslands and open situations with scattered brush and riparian scrub; preferring to feed near woody cover; strongly associated with sagebrush for breeding. Positively correlated with big sagebrush, shrub cover, bare ground, above-average shrub height, and horizontal patchiness; negatively correlated with grass cover. Strongly associated with sagebrush in areas with scattered shrubs and short grass; to lesser extent in mountain mahogany, rabbit brush, and bunchgrass grasslands with shrubs or large openings in pinyon- juniper. Mature forest generalist. On the Rio Grande, often found in mixed conifer/aspen stands. Open pine forests, burnt over areas with snags and stumps, riparian and rural cottonwoods, and pinyon-juniper woodlands. Grassy pastures that are well grazed. Nests in shrubs or small trees, preferably thorny such as hawthorn.
