Threatened or endangered species are listed as such under Section 7 of the <br />Endangered Species Act. Candidates are species for which the Service has sufficient information <br />on their biological status and potential threats to propose them as endangered or threatened, but <br />have yet to be formally listed. Species of concern are suspected by Service to be vulnerable, but <br />require funher study to determine their conservation status. <br /> <br />Those species identified by Service (USFWS 2003) as potentially occurring in the project area <br />are as follows: <br /> <br />..~w~~~m!i~ <br /> <br /> <br />American peregrine falcon <br />Arctic peregrine falcon <br />Black-footed ferret <br />Baird"s sparrow <br />Bald eagle <br />Black tern <br />Canacalynx <br />Mexican spotted owl <br />Mountain plover <br />Northern goshawk <br />Southwestern willow flycatcher <br />Townsend's big-eared bat <br />Western burrowing owl <br />Yellow-billed cuckoo <br /> <br />Fa/co peregrinus anatum <br />Fa/co peregrinus tundrius <br />Mustela nigripes <br />Ammodramus baidrii <br />Haliaeetus /eucocepha/us <br />Chlidonias niger <br />Lynx canadensis <br />Strix occidenta/is lucida <br />Charadrius montanus <br />Accipiter genti/is <br />Empidonax traillii extimus <br />Corynorhinus townsendii <br />Athene cunicu/aria hypugea <br />Coccyzus americanus <br /> <br />Species of Concern <br />SpeCies of Concern <br />Endangered <br />Species of Concern <br />Threatened <br />Species of Concern <br />Threatened* <br />Threatened <br />Species of Concern <br />Species of Concern <br />Endangered <br />Species of Concern <br />Species of Concern <br />Candidate species <br /> <br />BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT <br />NAVAJO GALLUP WATER SUPPLY PROJECT <br />September 3, 2004 <br /> <br />Page 27 <br />
