<br />sraAls. M~rstAr. sTirozEs <br />Srtia12 maac;Yal species mnposition, abundance, and habitat association wire <br />determined by live trap cersusing conducted during October, 1979.(see <br />Results, page 27}. Three 100m transects were placed in representative areas <br />of each of the following vegetation types on the study area. <br />1. Upland sagebrush <br />2. Grassland pasture <br />An additional transect was established in a small riparian area on the rnrth- <br />east edge of the study area (Map 11-I, Appendix A}. two Sherman live traps <br />were placed at each lOm interval along each transect. Traps wire baited with <br />a peanut butter, cracJced corn, rolled oats,~bacon fat'mixture and checked <br />for four consecutive nights. All traps were provided with dacmn-fiber <br />batting to avid animal loss due to hypothermia. AZ1 individuals captured <br />. _' were toe-clipped and recorded acwrding to species, ser, age (juvenile or <br />adult}, reprcu3uctive status (active or inactive}, and location and these <br />released. <br />AVIFAUNA. SIUDIES <br />Four different asrq~onents of the avifauna were studied: <br />1. Passerine birds <br />2. Raptorial birds <br />3. Upland game birds <br />4. Waterfowl <br />Four aifferent surveys were undertaken tc detettnine the present.-e, abundance <br />and production o£ avifauna on the study area: <br /> <br />• <br />JUN i ! t98p <br />(Revised July 2006) Attachment 2.04.11-1-12 <br />
