Will require monitoring for 5 years. /FP __PR 1 /SSC Sensitive resource –/SSC –/SSC –/SSC Present most commonly May to the November in the San Francisco Bay during the non-breeding season. Flock moves along the more marine portion of the estuary following prey. The project site is not near the traditional roosting areas (e.g. Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz Island, Alameda Point Jetty, and Fort Cronkite, Sausalito. Foothills and mountains throughout California. Uncommon nonbreeding visitor to lowlands such as the Central Valley Found throughout much of North America and into Central and South America. Nests in northeastern California in Modoc, Siskiyou, and Lassen Counties. Winters along the coast and in interior valleys west of Sierra Nevada Does not nest in California. Rare but widespread winter visitor to the Central Valley and coastal areas Occurs throughout lowland California. Has been recorded in fall at high elevations Forages in shallow nearshore water. Nest on cliffs and escarpments or in tall trees overlooking open country. Forages in annual grasslands, chaparral, and oak woodlands with plentiful medium and large-sized mammals Rookeries occur in tall trees near a variety of wetland habitat types. Isolated areas that discourage predation and human disturbance are preferred. Nests in high-elevation grasslands adjacent to lakes or marshes. During migration and in winter; frequents coastal beaches and mudflats and interior grasslands and agricultural fields Forages along coastline in open grasslands, savannas, and woodlands. Often forages near lakes and other wetlands Grasslands, meadows, marshes, and seasonal and agricultural wetlands Potential Occurrence in Project/Study Area Low. Unlikely visitor to project site or Action Area. High. Known to use site for foraging. None. Documented rookery record within 10 miles of the project site; suitable foraging habitat onsite only. Low. Known occurrences within 10 miles of project site; suitable wintering habitat onsite. Low. Potential winter visitor to project site. High. Known to use site for foraging; likely nests onsite. 1 Protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703–712) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (72 FR 31131).

Known occurrences within 10 miles of the project site; marginally suitable summer and winter habitat onsite. Habitat exists in Action Area along Tolay Creek and San Pablo Bay in dredging and breach areas. High. Known occurrences onsite. Habitat exists in Action Area along Tolay Creek and San Pablo Bay in dredging and breach areas. California least tern Stenula antillarum E/E Colonies in the San Francisco Bay, Sacramento Delta, and areas along the coast of San Luis Obispo to San Diego counties Nests along unvegetated coastal areas. Low. Known occurrences within 10 miles of project site; but suitable habitat is not present on site or within Action Area. May forage in the Action Area May through August. Short-eared owl Asio flammeus –/SSC Permanent resident along the coast from Del Norte County to Monterey County although very rare in summer north of San Francisco Bay, in the Sierra Nevada north of Nevada County, in the plains east of the Cascades, and in Mono County; small, isolated populations Freshwater and salt marshes, lowland meadows, and irrigated alfalfa fields; needs dense tules or tall grass for nesting and daytime roosts Moderate. Known occurrence just outside of project vicinity (approximately 12 miles from site); suitable nesting and foraging habitat occurs onsite. Northern spotted owl Strix occidentalis caurina T/– Northwestern California to Marin county Old forest habitats, mosaic old forest interspersed with other vegetation types; tree stands with cavities, snags, dead wood and deformities found in old forests. , None. No suitable nesting or foraging habitat onsite.
