Our goal in responding to land use <br /> proposals such as this is to provide complete, consistent, and timely information to all <br /> entities who request comment on matters within our statutory authority. <br /> District Wildlife Manager Brian Marsh recently visited the site on January 5, 2018. The <br /> majority of this currently undeveloped land comprised of short grass prairie and bare ground. <br /> Colorado Parks and Wildlife would expect to find a variety of Wildlife in this area including <br /> Horned Larks, Scaled Quail, Western Meadowlarks, Red Tailed Hawks, Swainson's Hawks, <br /> coyotes, mule deer, red fox, bull snakes, prairie rattlesnakes, coachwhips, kangaroo rats, <br /> pocket gophers, and deer mice. <br /> This area is not part of any significant migration route or corridor for wildlife. There <br /> may be occasional passerine birds migrating through the area in the spring and fall but the <br /> expected impacts to wildlife will be minimal. There are no raptor nests in or near the <br /> proposed site. <br /> This site is in the CHAT 4 (Crucial Habitat Assessment Too[) area of the lesser prairie <br /> chicken. This chat level is considered modeled non-habitat for lesser prairie chickens and <br /> they are not likely to be found at this location at any time during the year. <br /> It is very unlikely that any state or federally listed threatened or endangers species <br /> are present at this site. The US Fish and Wildlife Service should be consulted if there are any <br /> federally listed Threatened or Endangered species that might be at the site. <br /> Bob D.Broscheid,Director,Colorado Parks and Wildlife•Parks and Wildlife Commission:Robert W.Bray•Marie Haskett•Carrie Besnette Hauser <br /> John Howard,Chair•Marvin McDaniel•Dale Pizei•Jim Spehar•James Vigil,Secretary•Dean Wingfield• Michelle Zimmerman,Vice-Chair•Alex Zipp <br />
