Burger Pacific and Yukon Region 2002 Canadian Wildlife Service Environmental Conservation Branch Technical Report Series Number 387 Environment Environnement Canada Canada Canadian Wildlife Service Canadien qwewrt Service de la faune TECHNICAL REPORT SERIES CANADIAN WILDLIFE SERVICE This series of reports, established in 1986, contains technical and scientific information from projects of the Canadian Wildlife Service. The reports are intended to make available material that either is of interest to a limited audience or is too extensive to be accommodated in scientific journals or in existing CWS series. Demand for these Technical Reports is usually confined to specialists in the fields concerned. Consequently, they are produced regionally and in small quantities; they can be obtained only from the address given on the back of the title page. However, they are numbered nationally. The recommended citation appears on the title page. Technical Reports are available in CWS libraries and are listed in the catalogue of the National Library of Canada in scientific libraries across Canada. They are printed in the official language chosen by the author to meet the language preference of the likely audience, with a résumé in the second official language. To determine whether there is significant demand for making the reports available in the second official language, CWS invites users to specify their official language preference. Requests for Technical Reports in the second official language should be sent to the address on the back of the title page.

    2 Wildlife Biological Assessment for the Two Bit Vegetation Management Project 1. INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this biological assessment/biological evaluation (BA) is to determine the effects of the TWO BIT VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROJECT (project) (alternative 2 in the DEIS) on wildlife species listed as Endangered or Threatened under the Endangered Species Act; on designated Critical Habitat for those species; and on species listed as Sensitive by the Pacific Southwest Region, USDA Forest Service (FS). This BA is prepared in accordance with the legal requirements set forth under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended [16 U.S.C. 1536 (c) et seq. 50CFR 402] (ESA), and follows the standards established in the FS Manual direction (FSM 2672.42; USDA Forest Service 1991). The list of federally listed species was obtained online at http://arcata.fws.gov/specieslist (reference #7396278-111539, (February 26, 2010)). The FS, Region 5, Sensitive Species list was provided by the USDA Pacific Southwest Region (October 15, 2007). This BA addresses the following species from those lists: Endangered Shortnose sucker (Chamistes brevirostris) Lost River sucker (Deltistes luxatus) Tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi) Threatened Northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) Marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmorata) Sensitive Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus leucocephalus) Northern goshawk (Accipter gentiles) Great gray owl (Strix nebulosa) Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni) Willow flycatcher (Empidonax trailii) Greater sandhill

To start the program PSG is honored to have Dr. John Warham here to present a plenary address "Petrel problems and puzzles." Dr. Warham is from the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. PSG will be presenting Dr. Warham with this year’s PSG Lifetime Achievement Award. Oral presentations will be given in the Blakely and Cypress rooms of the Semi-Ah-Moo Ballroom. With the exception of our plenary session, there will be 2 concurrent sessions throughout the meeting. All presentations, except symposia presentations, will be 15 minutes long. PSG is pleased to present 2 symposia this year that address subjects of major concern to marine ornithologists, by-catch and climate change. Ed Melvin has organized "Seabird by-catch: trends, roadblocks and solutions," and Bill Sydeman has organized "Climate variability and seabird response." Both sessions feature a broad mixture of presentations from seabird biologists to fishermen, students to grand fromages, and locals to international attendees. We regret that time and scheduling constraints necessitated holding the symposia on the same day.
