Abandoned Channels (Avulsions)
Musselshell BMPs 1 Abandoned Channels (Avulsions) Applicability The following Best Management Practices (“BMPs”) summarize several recommended approaches to managing abandoned channels within the Musselshell River stream corridor. The information is based upon the on- site evaluation of floodplain features and discussions with producers, and is intended for producers and residents who are living or farming in areas where abandoned channel segments exist. Description Perhaps the most dramatic 2011 flood Figure 1. 2011 avulsion, Musselshell River. impact on the Musselshell River was the number of avulsions that occurred over the period of a few weeks. An “avulsion” is the rapid formation of a new river channel across the floodplain that captures the flow of the main channel thread. River avulsions typically occur when rivers find a relatively steep, short flow path across their floodplain. When floodwaters re- enter the river over a steep bank, they form headcuts that migrate upvalley, creating a new channel, causing intense erosion, and sending a sediment slug downswtream. If the new channel completely develops, it can capture the main thread, resulting in a successful avulsion. If floodwaters recede before the new channel is completely formed, or if the floodplain is resistant to erosion, the avulsion may fail. From near Harlowton to Fort Peck Reservoir, 59 avulsions occurred on the Musselshell in the spring of 2011, abandoning a total of 39 miles of channel. The abandoned channel segments range in length from 280 feet to almost three miles. One of the reasons there were so many avulsions on the Figure 2. Upstream-migrating headcuts showing Musselshell River in 2011 is because the floodwaters stayed creation of avulsion path, 2011. -

California Rare & Endagered Birds
California brown pelican Pelecanus occidentalis californicus State Endangered 1971 Fully Protected Federal Endangered 1970 General Habitat: The California brown pelican uses a variety of natural and human-created sites, including offshore islands and rocks, sand spits, sand bars, jetties, and piers, for daytime loafing and nocturnal roosting. Preferred nesting sites provide protection from mammalian predators and sufficient elevation to prevent flooding of nests. The pelican builds a nest of sticks on the ground, typically on islands or offshore rocks. Their nesting range extends from West Anacapa Island and Santa Barbara Island in Channel Islands National Park to Islas Los Coronados, immediately south of and offshore from San Diego, and Isla San Martín in Baja California Norte, Mexico. Description: The brown pelican is one of two species of pelican in North America; the other is the white pelican. The California brown pelican is a large, grayish-brown bird with a long, pouched bill. The adult has a white head and dark body, but immature birds are dark with a white belly. The brown pelican weighs up to eight pounds and may have a wingspan of seven feet. Brown pelicans dive from flight to capture surface-schooling marine fishes. Status: The California brown pelican currently nests on West Anacapa Island and Santa Barbara Island in Channel Islands National Park. West Anacapa Island is the largest breeding population of California. In Mexico, the pelicans nest on Islas Los Coronados and Isla San Martín. Historically, the brown pelican colony on Islas Los Coronados was as large as, or larger than, that of recent years on Anacapa Island.
