Appendix 9, Wildlife Abundance and Occurrence Codes Page 2 of 4 AMPHIBIANS (continued) Locally Common 10 or more individual adults or 4 or more breeding aggregations can usually be observed, and the species can usually be found in 0-33% of sites surveyed in a single day by standard techniques and in appropriate seasons and habitats. Sparsely Common 1 individual adult or 1 breeding aggregation can usually be observed in 67- 100% of areas surveyed in a single day by standard techniques and in ap ropriate seasons and habitats. Uncommon Fewer than 5 individual adults or at most 1 breeding aggregation can usually be observed, and the species can usually be found in less than 50% of areas surveyed in a single day by standard techniques and in appropriate seasons and habitats. Rare Fewer than 5 individual adults or 1 to 2 breeding aggregations can usually be observed, and the species can usually be found in less than 50% of areas surveyed in a single season by standard techniques and in appropriate seasons and habitats. Very Rare Fewer than 10 records (including all historic records) for the state. Extirpated Known to have historically occurred, but known to no longer be present in a natural and free roaming condition. Unknown Can not be placed in any of the abundance categories above due to lack of information. BIRDS CATEGORY DEFINITION Abundant Observed daily; >I00/day in appropriate season and habitat Common Observed daily; 25-100/day in appropriate season and habitat Fairly Common Observed daily; 10-25/day in appropriate season and habitat Uncommon Usually observed daily in appropriate season and habitat; 1-10/day OR species may be gregarious so that a large group may be observed atone time, but usually only 1-2 groups per da is observed. Rare Usually not observed daily in appropriate season and habitat; 1-5/day and I- 10/season OR species may be gregarious so that a large group may be observed at one time, but usually only 1 group is observed.
