SE - State endangered
The absence of suitable habitat and known distribution precludes the presence of Canada lynx.
The western yellow -billed cuckoo is a candidate for listing by USFSW. Habitat for this
bird occurs along the Yampa River corridor and its presence is possible in the vicinity as a
rare seasonal visitor or migrant passing through the area.
The bald eagle is listed as state threatened. CDOW data shows a historic bald eagle nest
location approximately three miles east of the Permit Area, as well as winter range along
the Yampa River. Foraging bald eagles are commonly observed in the area in winter, when
they are most numerous in the area. Golden eagles are known to nest in sandstone cliffs
