ERC Bernhardt Site <br /> Threatened-Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening <br /> season, or which has been occupied in any of the five previous breeding seasons. Many raptors use <br /> alternate nests in various years.Thus, a nest site may be active even if a particular nest is not occupied in <br /> a given year. The CPW also maintains Species Activity Mapping (CPW SAM) data which is an online <br /> database that lists the known occurrences, status and recorded nest sites of select raptors and other <br /> species within the state of Colorado. <br /> • No non-eagle raptor nests were observed and no CPW mapped non-eagle raptor nest protection <br /> buffer zones are located within the survey area (CPW 2023a). Inactive raptor nest sites have no <br /> regulatory restriction and do not require further agency coordination; however, nest activity status <br /> can vary seasonally and from year-to-year. Future land use changes may require additional nest <br /> surveys (generally between February 1 and September 15 (CPW 2020)) to determine activity status <br /> within%to X mile of the survey area to ensure compliance with CPW recommendations. <br /> Eagles <br /> A bald eagle nest site is identified by CPW SAM data and lists the nest site as "destroyed". Personal email <br /> communication with CPW GIS Database Specialist, Robert Sacco stated that the nest was documented as <br /> destroyed in February 2022 with no known cause. <br /> A field visit was conducted on January 25, 2023 and January 31, 2023 to document the presence and/or <br /> absence of the nest and/or any nest remnants. During the field visit,the last known location of the nest <br /> site was traversed, and ERC observed a large broken branch and possible remnants of the previously <br /> documented nest site. No other nests were observed within the area and no eagles were observed. The <br /> second field visit on January 31, 2023 was conducted to determine nest area activity and to determine if <br /> any eagles were attempting to rebuild the nest. A two-hour field investigation was completed on the <br /> morning of January 31 and began approximately a %: hour before sunrise and continued for 1 % hours <br /> after sunrise.The field observation was performed through direct visual observations(aided by binocular) <br /> while stationed at an appropriate vantage point within the survey area. During the observation, no eagles <br /> were observed within the nest area and no eagles were observed attempting to rebuild the nest. <br /> Refer to Photos 9-12 below for documentation of the potential eagle nest remnants. <br /> .is <br /> Photo 9.
