1W BIO-Logic <br /> inc <br /> Natural Resource Consultants <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Suitable nesting habitat primarily in the form of large trees is present on and around the proposed quarry <br /> site for several species of raptors including red-tailed hawk, Cooper's hawk, American kestrel, great- <br /> horned owl, and flammulated owl. A family of Cooper's hawks, including two fledglings,was found in <br /> July 2015 on the quarry site during other biological fieldwork. Abundant cavities in a variety of tree <br /> species may provide suitable nests sites for kestrels and small owls. Rock outcrops contain marginal <br /> nesting habitat due to their small size or their lack of suitable ledges and overhangs. <br />
