BLM Uncompahgre Field Office (UFO) Sensitive Species (Continued) <br />Source: BLM (2011), ERO (2012) <br />The Gray vireo, pinyon jay, juniper titmouse, and Brewer's sparrow are species listed as UFO birds of <br />conservation concern. The ERO survey (2012) showed that there is potential habitat for these species, but <br />impacts to these species would be minimal. Table 34 lists the UFO birds of conservation concern. <br />Table 34.

No temporary or permanent loss of food and habitat are <br />expected to occur. There could be a temporary minor interference with migratory routes due to increased <br />human activity and a temporary effect on wildlife due to increased human activity during mining activities. <br />However, no permanent detrimental effect for game or non -game wildlife is expected due to the operation <br />of the JD -6 project. <br />4148A.120927 Whetstone Associates <br />
