RE: Logan County, Bob Terrill Clay Pit, File No. M-99-029
Dear Mr. Mount.
I visited the site of the mine mentioned above located just north HWY 61 in section 6, T7N, 851 W, in
Logan County. The site has previously been mined and currently is being grazed fairly heavily. As a
result, the only wildlife habitat concern [hove pertaining to this site is the potential loss of two or three
mature cottonwood trees that are growing in the bottom of the old pit. These trees are providing habitat
to many bird species in the area as the presence of two nests indicate. Neither nest was occupied today so
I am not sure what specific species of bird actually uses the trees, but the larger nest in the tallest tree
very likely is a raptor nest. My recommendation would be to preserve the trees if at all possible.
Sincerely,

Shane L. Briggs
Area 3 Habitat Biologist
