Dear Mr. Stover;
On July 2, 1996, Enviro25 Environmental Services Inc. conducted
4round survey activities on the proposed Bowie Resources
development in order to ascertain presence, and to confirm by live
trapping and observation, species of herps, birds _and mammals
present.
Two types of habitat were observed, these were Shrub and stream
lands as described by the Division of wildlife "Wild^ database. .A
list of species observed coupled with the previous T6E study broken
down by habitat category are attached. It might be noted that many
species of birds were still singing, and the playing of a tape of
the southwestern willow flycatcher solicited no responses, even
though several tyrannid species were both heard and observed.
Even though the riparian and floodplain areas will not be directly
impacted by the development, efforts were made to identify any
• sensitive species. The threatened and endangered species study
clearly identified no species at risk in this nearby riverine
habitat.
Observations of species diversity even within the riparian area
seemed low. This is likely due to the extremely disturbed .nature
of this habitat. Grazing and other human related activities
dominate in this habitat type in this area.
Enviro25 conducted this baseline observational study to satisfy DMG
rule 2.04.11 and with guidance from David Herry of the DMG. If you ._
have further questions, please feel free to call me at (970) 241-
0742.
