Coal Methane Drmnage Arojett - PaneG 7G-24 Wett E/k Mint • PoBe 3-13 <br />populations within the boundaries of DAU D-2Q, which includes Game Management Unit 53, are <br />estimated at 4,848. The current CDOW population objective for this DAU is 7,000 deer. Several <br />studies are underway to determine limiting factors for deer populations. Likely factors include <br />declining habitat condition and trend, and fawn mortality. Fawn mortality is due to a combination of <br />poor nutrition and infectious disease. <br />Hairy woodpeckers are common yeaz-round residents of the Forest. They aze found in aspen, <br />ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, spruce-fu and riparian habitats. The Mountain Hairy Woodpecker (P. v. <br />montirala) subspecies which inhabit this area occur predominantly in conifers, although there is <br />substantial use of aspen forests and deciduous foothill streams. They favor aspen for their nest holes, <br />and dig a new hole every year. Nest holes may be used by a number of other montane breeding birds, <br />many of which cannot excavate nest holes. <br />3.2.1.2 Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive Species <br />The US Fish and Wi]dlife Service (USFWS) maintains a list of federally designated threatened, <br />endangered, proposed, and candidate species which may occur or be affected by actions occurring in <br />Colorado. Similarly, the USFS has designated the following list of sensitive species of concern that <br />may occur or be affected by management activities on National Forest lands within the analysis area. <br />The analysis azea is within Gunnison County, Colorado. <br />~u' a P/n(vnw Cw'G/EA/Dy/l/~/O1EI UhY Environmrnra/A/.ceument <br />/ ~/m s <br />
