The passerines or "Perching <br />girds" are popularly referred to as the songbirds, and they <br />compose the largest group of birds observed in this area. <br />Most of the birds in this habitat are migratory birds, and <br />they are most likely to be found here during the spring and <br />summer months. A list of the bird species that have been <br />identified in the Gold Hill area is shown below, with the more <br />popular names of several species in brackets. <br />Goshawk <br />Red-tailed Hawk <br />American Kestrel <br />Great Horned Owl <br />Common Crow <br />Common Raven <br />Clark's Nutcracker <br />Steller's Jay <br />Brewer's Blackbird <br />Black-billed Afagpie <br />[Western Bluebird <br />Mountain Bluebird <br />Blue Grouse <br />Lesser Goldfinch <br />Broad-tailed <br />Hummingbird <br />Downy Woodpecker <br />Hairy Woodpecker <br />Williamson's <br />Sapsucker <br />Common Flicker <br />American Robin <br />Pygmy Nuthatch <br />Red-breasted Nuthatch <br />White-breasted <br />Nuthatch <br />Brown Creeper <br />Yellow-rumped Warbler <br />Red Crossbill <br />Townsend's Solitaire <br />Grey-headed Junco <br />Ruby-crowned Ringlet <br />Hermit Thrush <br />House Wren <br />Rock Wren <br />Canyon Wren <br />Mountain Chickadee <br />Western Tanager <br />Western Wood Peewee <br />Solitary Vireo <br />Pine Siskin <br />Lark Sparrow <br />Chipping Sparrow <br />Violet-green Swallow <br />Tree Swallow <br />(Accipiter gentilis) <br />(Buteo jamaicensis) <br />(Falco sparverius) <br />(Bubo virginianus) <br />(Corvus brachyrhynchos) <br />(Corvus corax) <br />(P7ucifraga Columbiana) <br />(Cyanocitta stelleri) <br />(Euphagus cyanocephalus) <br />(Pica pica) <br />(Sialia mexicana) <br />(Sialia currucoides) <br />(Dendragapus obscures) <br />(Carduelis psaltria) <br />(Selasphorus platycercus) <br />(Picoides pubescens) <br />(Picoides villosus) <br />(Sphyrapicus thyroideus) [Woodpecker] <br />(COlaptes aerates) [Woodpecker] <br />(Turdus migratorius) [Robin] <br />(Sitta pygmaea) <br />(Sitta canadensis) <br />(Sitta carolinensis) <br />(Certhia familiaris) <br />(Dendroica coronata) <br />(LOXia curvirostra) <br />(Myadestes townsendi) <br />(Junco caniceps) <br />(Regulus calendula) <br />(Catharus guttatus) <br />(Troglodytes aedon) <br />(Salpinctes obsoletus) <br />(Catherpes mexicanus) <br />(Pares gambeli) <br />(Piranga ludoviciana) <br />(Contopus sordidulus) <br />(Vireo solitaries) <br />(Carduelis pines) <br />(Chondestes grammacus) <br />(Spizella passer.i.na) <br />(Tachycineta thalassina) <br />(Iridoprocne bicolor) <br />[Sparrow Hawk] <br />[Blue Jay] <br />[Magpie] <br />The general effect of the proposed operation on the existing <br />wild]..ife~ in the area is not expected to be significant or per- <br />manent. Iler.attse of its inability to support much vegetation <br />and its compacted, fine grained nature, the Cash mine dump is <br />not a favored location for wildlife habitation. Since most of <br />the land surface that will be affected by this proposed <br />operation encompasses the Cash mine dump, the directly af- <br />fected wildlife habitat is considerably less than the total <br />-6- <br />
