I. Summary and Background

Summary This report describes studies to detect the presence of bald (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and Northern harrier (Circus cyaneus) in the Stony Creek Wind Farm project area, located in Wyoming County, New York. The report also documents the findings of a survey of forest birds in the same general area. Stony Creek Energy LLC, a fully owned subsidiary of Invenergy Wind North America LLC, proposes to construct a wind-powered electric generating facility that includes the installation of access roads, electrical collection lines, a substation, an operations & maintenance building and wind turbines. Surveys were conducted on site during the weeks of April 26, May 9, June 6, and June 20, 2010. These weeks enveloped the primary period for breeding activity of the focal species. Field work was performed by Shoener Environmental, Inc. ornithologists.

Project Description The project is located in Wyoming County in southwestern New York, east of Lake Erie and west of the Finger Lakes region. The project extends north and southward of State Route 20A, along hill tops of the Cattaraugus Highlands in the Appalachian Plateau physiographic province (Attachment 1, 2, 3a, b, 4). Route 238 runs north to south through the eastern portion of the site. On the west, the project lies east of Syler Road south of USR 20A and along Buffalo/Gassman roads north of USR 20A. Elevations range from 1000 to 2000 feet (305 to 610 meters). The Town of Orangeville is centrally located within the study area, the town of Varysburg is approximately 1.5 miles west of the site, and Warsaw is located approximately 2.5 miles to the east. The site’s climate is temperate, with cold, snowy winters and warm summers. Temperatures average between 18.9 and 66.4oF (-17.3 and 19.1oC) daily, and the region obtains approximately 41 inches (105.3 cm) of precipitation per year, distributed relatively equally throughout the months (http://www.worldclimate.com/cgi- bin/grid.pl?gr=N42W078).

The project area (Attachment 3a, 2010 Study Area) is primarily composed of rolling terrain, with relatively flat ridges bisected by deep ravines. The generally consists of parcels of secondary mixed and hardwood forest, abandoned fields, hayfields, croplands, and low density residential areas, bisected by roads. Many of the forested areas show signs of recent logging activity, with timber comprised of oak (Quercus spp.), maple (Acer spp), beech (Fagus grandifolia), American basswood (Tilia americana) and cherry (Prunus spp) (Andrle and Carroll 1988). Small plots of Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) and Pinus species persist throughout these forest fragments, either interspersed with deciduous hardwoods, or as small monocultures within patches of hardwood forest. Much of the project area was being actively farmed, logged, or affected by residential construction. Vegetation in many areas that were not actively managed was dominated by successional shrub and edge plant species. The site’s surface geology is dominated by glacial features, including rounded basins, or kettles. Often, these kettles hold wet areas, including pools, which are often fishless. These wetlands occur throughout the project area. The largest body of water in the project area is the Attica Reservoir. A portion of this triangular-shaped reservoir is located in the northeast corner of the project area, and is flanked by Bantam Swamp to the east, and low ridges to the north and west.

Project Review Background A draft environmental impact statement was prepared on February 18, 2010 and submitted to the Orangeville Town Board by Stony Creek Energy LLC. Among other topics, the DEIS discussed the potential presence of state- and federally listed endangered and threatened species, and special concern species protected by the state. At the request of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC), Stony Creek Energy LLC conducted supplementary surveys to determine specific presence and flight paths within the project site by bald eagle and northern harrier, both listed as threatened by New York State. NYDEC records include eight bald eagle sightings in the project area, specifically in and around Attica Reservoir, between June 9, 1999 and January 10, 2008. In addition, a pair of bald

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 3 of 31 eagle was observed on June 19, 2000, during routine breeding bird surveys conducted by volunteers of the 2nd Breeding Bird Atlas of New York (McGowan and Corwin 2008), in the atlas block encompassing the same area. These atlas ‘blocks’ are 3x3 mi (5x5 km), and are used to divide the state into segments for survey during the Breeding Bird Atlases. Bald eagles were observed during surveys for the Atlas in only one of eight blocks encompassing the project area. The blocks provide a convenient way to report local distributions of bird species. Atlas surveys are typically completed by volunteers who are assigned a specific block or number of blocks. The volunteers keep a record of all species observed within the assigned block, and report changes or additions to the breeding status of all species within their block(s). The NYDEC specifically requested observations to determine the presence and flight paths of bald eagle in the area between Attica Reservoir and Bantam Swamp. Due to the previous sightings (Attachment 5b) of two separate individuals, an adult and a sub-adult, in this area, NYDEC also requested nest searches in the immediate vicinity. The NYDEC also requested specific searches to determine the presence of Northern harrier in the project area. Northern harriers have a historical presence in the area, and were observed during surveys for both Breeding Bird Atlases (Andrle and Carroll 1988, McGowan and Corwin 2008). Additionally, a pair of Northern harriers was observed during a search within Block 2373A (Attachment 3c) of the New York Breeding Bird Atlas during a Stony Creek Wind LLC-funded study of the proposed project area (Stantec 2007). Finally, supplementary forest breeding bird point counts were requested by the NYDEC. The objective of these supplementary surveys is to more thoroughly assess the proposed development area, including some hilltops not previously surveyed for breeding bird species (Attachment 1,3a).

II. Bald Eagle Survey

Bald Eagle Breeding Status in New York Bald eagle range from Alaska and Canada, south to and are only found on the North American continent (Buehler 2000). Breeding dates vary with latitude. In Northern

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 4 of 31 latitudes, including New York, breeding occurs in early spring (Gerrard and Bortolotti 1988). Nye (2009) reports most nesting in New York occurs during the last two weeks of February through early March. As of 2009, there were 173 confirmed nesting pairs of bald eagle in New York, with 123 of those pairs fledging young (Nye 2009). There appears to be an increasing population trend in the state, including the region encompassing the project area. Locally, bald eagles were observed in surveys of one (2374C) of the eight survey blocks of the 2nd New York Breeding Bird Atlas (Attachment 3c). This sighting was given a rating of P2, meaning that a pair was sighted. This observation was recorded on June 19, 2000 (McGowan and Corwin 2008). The nearest confirmed nesting pair of bald eagle were viewed in 2003 in block 2472D (Attachment 3c) during the 2nd NY Breeding Bird Atlas, likely within the boundaries of Letchworth State Park. This site is approximately 11 miles (18 km) southeast of the project area.

Daily Movements of Bald Eagle in New York The home ranges and daily dispersal of breeding bald eagles appears highly variable. Reported home range size in other areas varies between 1 and 21.6 km2 (Garrett et al. 1993, Stalmaster 1987). Studies are ongoing to characterize the home range size of breeding individuals in New York (Nye 2009). Nonbreeding bald eagles occupy large areas and may not consistently use an area like breeding adults, but instead wander nomadically in response to changing food availability (Buehler et al. 1991).

Bald Eagle Conservation Status in New York New York classifies bald eagles as threatened. The species is no longer listed under the federal Act. In the 1970’s and 1980’s, NYDEC biologists began reintroducing bald eagles into the state. There were more than 170 confirmed nesting pairs residing in the state in 2009 (Nye 2009). The NYDEC has a well documented and extensive conservation program in place, with programs such as protecting essential breeding and winter

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 5 of 31 , monitoring contaminant levels in the state’s population, and identifying causes of mortality in the species (Nye 2009).

Bald Eagle Survey Method Based upon review of USGS 7.5’ topographic maps and aerial orthoimagery, and coordination (April 20, 2010) with Brianna Gary of the NYDEC, a survey point (“BAEA ORIG”) was chosen to provide a satisfactory vantage of the airspace between Attica Reservoir and Bantam Swamp, a wetland located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the reservoir (Attachment 1, 3a). This general location of this observation point was chosen because of the historical presence of bald eagles in this vicinity, and because the extreme northeast portion of the project area is between the reservoir and the southern tip of the swamp. Based upon conditions in the field, the observation point was moved approximately 433 meters to the north to an open field elevated above the reservoir to allow for an improved view of the previously mentioned airspace. This location is identified on project mapping as “BAEA” (Attachment 1, 3a). An additional survey point (Attachment 3a, “BAEA 1”) was established to identify the location from which a bald eagle was observed on April 28, 2010 when observers were in transit to BAEA (Figure 1). Searches for bald eagle nests were conducted in the vicinity of the swamp and the reservoir, either on foot or by driving the adjacent roads. Search areas were selected based upon current and historical bald eagle observations in the area around Attica reservoir. Survey protocol was coordinated with Brianna Gary of the NYDEC (April 20, 2010). Observations were conducted two days per week during the weeks of April 25, May 9, and June 6 by Brad Romano and Jeremy Scheivert of Shoener Environmental, Inc. Typically, one observer was present during each survey, which lasted for four hours following sunrise. Navigation to and from points was completed utilizing maps and a Garmin E-trex Vista HCx GPS unit. During these observations, a thorough scan of all visible airspace was conducted and repeated. When a bald eagle was observed, the bird’s age was identified and its flight path was followed until it was out of sight. Sightings were recorded on a data sheet (Attachment 6a, d).

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 6 of 31

Wind speed (utilizing the Beaufort Wind Scale), wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover (in %), maximum visibility (in km), and sky condition (utilizing the Migration Association of North America (HMANA) ‘sky codes’ (HMANA 2010)) data were collected hourly and supplemented with data from www.weatherunderground.com. Supplemental data were collected from the Dansville, NY Automated Weather Station, approximately 30 miles southeast of the project area (Attachment 9). Other data collected included time of observation, species, sex, age, behavior, initial location, initial flight height, flight direction, and overall flight height. The initial location and general flight paths were plotted on a topographic map. Flight heights were recorded utilizing the HMANA flight height scale (HMANA 2010) (Attachment 6d). Any pertinent notes were also recorded. Searches for bald eagle nests focused on the area within 2 miles (3.2 km) of bald eagles we observed. All areas within 150 meters of the Attica Reservoir shoreline were searched, as was Bantam Swamp along Bantam Road. Additionally, wetlands, tributaries, and reservoir outflow areas within 2 miles of the observation point were searched. Nest searches were conducted after the primary observation period, and lasted between one and three hours. Searchers traveled by foot or vehicle, stopping intermittently to search the surrounding area for nests. The search pattern was methodical, beginning closest to the location where a bald eagle was observed and working outward, around the reservoir and Bantam Swamp.

Analysis of Bald Eagle Survey Data Analysis of the bald eagle data was completed, with initial observation locations and general flight paths plotted on a topographic map. Metric data (e.g., flight height) were tabulated, and an average number of observations per hour was calculated.

Bald Eagle Survey Results Bald eagles were observed on six occasions, at an average rate of 0.25 observations per hour, during a total of 24 hours of observation. Observations were typically for a few seconds up to approximately ten minutes in length and occurred in the same airspace each time (Figure

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 7 of 31

1, Table 1). Adult bald eagles were observed on three occasions; the remaining observations were of sub-adult individuals in phase II (a bald eagle in its third year). Nearly all observations occurred over the reservoir, and only one observation – on June 7, 2010 at 0818 hrs. – occurred between Attica Reservoir and Bantam Swamp (Table 1). The only day bald eagle were not observed was May 12, 2010, likely because weather was not conducive to the formation of thermals, and visibility was reduced by intermittent fog and mist. No incidental observations were made outside the dedicated observation periods. Flight heights of individuals varied from at or below eye level (0) to a few hundred meters above the observer (3), classified by HMANA as observed at the limits of unaided vision. Most individuals were observed soaring in the airspace over the reservoir, outside the project area. Table 1. Bald eagle observations on six days between April 28 and June 8, 2010.

Bald Eagle Nest Searches A total of 13.5 person-hours were spent searching the area surrounding the Attica Reservoir and Bantam Swamp for bald eagle nests (Attachment 3a). No bald eagle nests were observed during this survey of the area; however, suitable habitat (habitat in close proximity to foraging resources and containing trees possibly large enough to support a nest) was present.

Bald Eagle Summary Bald eagles were observed on six separate occasions during the survey. No bald eagles were observed outside specific survey periods. No bald eagle nests were observed in the search area around Attica Reservoir and in Bantam Swamp. The presence of bald eagle is well- documented in this vicinity; individuals have been observed by NYDEC officials and casual observers alike on multiple occasions (pers. comm., Rudyard Edick, NYDEC, April 13, 2010). Both New York Breeding Bird atlases (1985 and 2005) have included ‘probable’ ratings for bald eagle in the atlas block encompassing this location, with a pair being reported on 6/19/2000. The latest date of a reported sighting prior to this survey occurred near Attica Reservoir on January 10, 2008 (pers. comm., Rudyard Edick, NYDEC, April 13, 2010). Results of our survey indicate bald eagles are present in the vicinity of Attica Reservoir, but may not nest there. Nest site selection in bald eagle appears to be opportunistic in nature. The nest tree must be large enough to support the initial nest structure, and allow the pair a view of the surrounding area. The tree must also allow for limited risk of . Nests are typically found in a prominent canopy tree with a view of the surrounding area (Buehler 2000). During nest searches, a few trees of such nature were found around the reservoir and in the adjacent Bantam Swamp area. However, none held nests or remnants of nest material. The results of this survey are to be expected, as the territory size of a breeding bald eagle appears to be highly variable, ranging from one to many square kilometers (Garrett et al. 1993, Stalmaster 1987). The bald eagles observed at the site were typically viewed later in the morning, and may have traveled some distance to arrive at the lake. In regards to water bodies,

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 10 of 31 they prefer areas with perches allowing views of shallow areas where fish may be seen close to the surface (Buehler 2000).

III. Northern Harrier Survey

Northern Harrier Breeding Range Northern harriers breed in North America from northern Alaska and Canada, south to northern Baja California, Mexico and the southern U. S. Of the 13 species of harriers world- wide, the Northern harrier is the only one found in North America. The Northern harrier is also found in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa (Macwhirter and Bildstein 1996). In New York State, Northern harriers are confirmed breeders in the western Great Lakes plain, open habitats of the Adirondacks, western Finger Lakes, Long Island, and the Hudson, Saint Lawrence, and Lake Champlain valleys (New York Natural Heritage Program (NYNHP), 2009). According to the 2nd New York Breeding Bird Atlas, breeding Northern harriers have been documented in three of the eight survey blocks (2274D, 2374C, 2273B) found within the project area (Attachment 3c) (McGowan and Corwin 2008). Northern harrier breeding occurs in early spring, and timing varies with latitude. In western New York, they are considered to be year-round residents. Across its range, the Northern harrier prefers open habitats, including marshes, grasslands, meadows, pastures, croplands, and riparian woodlands, and utilizes similar habitat in New York (NYNHP 2009). Northern harriers typically nest on the ground, either alone or in loose colonies. Most nests are placed in areas of dense grassy or shrub-like vegetation, and are often built in wet areas. Nests are constructed of reeds, grasses, forbs, weeds, and water plants, usually with a base of thick- stalked plants such as cattails, alder, and willow (MacWhirter and Bildstein 1996). In general, Northern harriers show low fidelity to breeding sites. In a Wisconsin study, few (30–36%, n = 88) banded breeding adults returned to their nesting area in subsequent years. Most males that did return only did so once (Hamerstrom 1969, Burke 1979).

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 11 of 31

Daily Movements of Northern Harrier During the breeding season, the home range of Northern harriers varies considerably from site to site. Typically, females forage closer to the nest than do males (Hecht 1951, Barnard 1983), and their home ranges are usually smaller than those of males (Craighead and Craighead 1956, Thompson-Hanson 1984, Martin 1987). Males are known to hunt ≥10 km (6.25 mi) from the nest (Barnard 1983, Thompson-Hanson 1984), with ranges overlapping those of other males. It is suggested that Northern harrier in New York follow these same daily movement patterns (NYNHP 2009).

Northern Harrier Conservation Status in New York Although the species is not listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, the State of New York classifies Northern harriers as threatened. Threats to their persistence in the state are attributed primarily to habitat loss. Suitable breeding habitat has decreased in many portions of their range because of large-scale monotypic farming, farmland reforestation, and the extensive draining of wetlands for agriculture and other development. Other issues of concern associated with conservation of the species include fluctuations of prey populations. Management of the state’s population focuses on these concerns (NYNHP 2009).

Northern Harrier Survey Methods The following survey protocol and initial observation points were discussed with and approved Brianna Gary, NYDEC on April 20, 2010. The survey was conducted at three separate observation points, situated within or near habitat suitable for Northern harrier in the project area. Suitable habitat was identified utilizing information about Northern harrier biology readily available to the observers. Survey points were selected to cover both open/agricultural areas where harrier were historically observed (Andrle and Carroll 1988, Stantec 2007, McGowan and Corwin 2008), and areas in close proximity to sites where wind turbines are proposed (Figure 2). The first point, NOHA1, was situated atop a hill near meteorological and other towers (presumably television or communications towers). The habitat within 800 meters (1500 feet)

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 12 of 31 of the observation point consisted of planted cornfield, although some hayfield and regenerating forest habitat was also present. The surrounding valleys and airspace were clearly visible. The second point, NOHA2, was located amid hayfields and horse pastures. A meteorological tower and some wet areas, including a few retention ponds, were located within 800 meters (1500 feet). Two occupied residences were nearby and in view during observations. The third point, NOHA3, was situated in and corn fields on top of a hill overlooking a small stream trisecting agricultural fields and pasture. Views were limited on one side by a tree line and hilltop; however, the airspace immediately above was visible well beyond 800 meters (1500 feet). Attachment 3a shows the location of all three points relative to the project area. In addition to surveying these three points, the observer also searched for harrier while driving a pre-determined route between points (Attachment 3a). Any sightings of Northern harrier at other times or locations were considered incidental observations, and were recorded as such. Points were surveyed on May 12, June 8, and June 21, 2010. The observer visited each point on each survey day. Each point was visited for two hours, during which the observer would scan the surrounding area and airspace for Northern harrier. Surveys were completed during the six hour period following sunrise. Navigation to and from survey points was completed utilizing maps and a Garmin E-trex Vista HCx GPS unit. In an attempt to maximize the possibility of observing individuals, observations were conducted on days where winds were minimal to moderate, and heavy rains did not occur. Meteorological data were collected hourly during surveys, including wind speed (utilizing the Beaufort Wind Scale), wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover (in %), maximum visibility (in km), and precipitation or sky condition (utilizing the Hawk Migration Association of North America ‘sky codes’ (HMANA 2010)). Field data were supplemented with data from www.weatherunderground.com. Additional data were collected from the Dansville, NY Automated Weather Station, located approximately 30 miles southeast of the project area.

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 13 of 31

The observer noted all sightings of Northern harrier on data sheets (Attachment 6b, d), with special focus on nesting or breeding behavior such as the transport of nest materials, or sightings of fledgling individuals. Data collected included: species, time, number of individuals, sex and age class (if possible), behavior, initial observed location, initial flight height, overall (average) flight height and direction during the observation, and location of bird relative to the observer’s location (direction). Observers also recorded the general flight pattern on an aerial photograph, noting direction of flight throughout the observation period. Flight height was recorded utilizing the HMANA flight height scale (Attachment 6d).

Analysis of Northern Harrier Survey Data Analysis of the Northern harrier data was completed, with initial observation locations and general flight paths of each sighting plotted on a topographic map of the proposed project area. Metric data, such as flight height were tabulated, and an average number of observations per hour was calculated.

Northern Harrier Survey Results A total of 18 person-hours were spent surveying for Northern harrier, giving an average observation rate of 2.25 observations per person-hour. Northern harriers were observed on ten different occasions on three different days (Table 2). Seven of those observations occurred at NOHA 2, one was at NOHA 3, and two were incidental observations. The first incidental observation occurred on April 29, 2010, at BAEA, the bald eagle observation point (Table 4, Figure 2). The second incidental observation occurred on June 21, 2010 near Breeding Bird Survey points 196 through 198 (Table 2, Figure 2). No observations were made at NOHA 1. Behavior varied, with a combination of perching, soaring, and gliding being the most frequently observed behaviors. On June 8, two male individuals were observed simultaneously performing ‘sky-dancing’, a ritualistic behavior in which a bird gains altitude, then dives toward the ground, opening its wings and soaring to gain altitude shortly thereafter. The behavior is repeated multiple times, giving the appearance of ‘dancing’ (Simmons 1988).

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 14 of 31

Flight height of observed individuals ranged from zero (at or below eye level) to three, which generally equated to a few hundred meters above the observer (HMANA code: at the limits of unaided vision) most observations occurred at flight height one and two, denoted by HMANA as ‘eye level to 30 m, and easily viewed with the unaided eye’; this roughly equated to within 100 to 200 meters above the ground.

Northern Harrier Survey Summary Northern harriers were observed ten times, primarily near the NOHA 2 observation point. Although no nests were observed or mating pairs were confirmed during the 18 hours of observation, the behaviors observed, and the fact that both sexes were observed suggests the presence of a nest within the local region. Northern harrier do not have strong nest site fidelity from one year to the next (Hamerstrom 1969), so repeated observation from year to year only indicates satisfactory foraging and/or nesting habitat for the species, but may not indicate the presence of a nest nearby. The observations during this survey were generally similar to the results of both New York Breeding Bird Atlases (1985 and 2005), and with results of a surveys conducted by Stantec in 2007 which documented a pair of Northern harriers near NOHA1 (Figure 2). The foraging behavior of the species suggests large home ranges in breeding individuals, with males extending their range over 10 kilometers (6.5 mi) from the nest. In the case of this survey, the behaviors observed fit the timeline given for breeding biology of the species for each observation. The sky-dancing behavior observed on June 8, 2010 from NOHA2 may have been two males displaying territorial behavior. These observations indicate satisfactory foraging and/or nesting habitat is likely present in the area and document Northern harrier presence during the breeding season. While no nest locations or confirmed mated pairs were observed, the study observations suggest a breeding territory could be located somewhere in the local region.

IV. Breeding Bird Survey

Breeding Birds in New York More than 459 species of birds have been documented in the state of New York (http://www.birding.com/wheretobird/newyork.asp). New York has identified 118 bird species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) (Attachment 7). While most bird species are provided some state and federal protection, three species are listed as endangered or threatened under the

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 17 of 31 federal Endangered Species Act, and New York lists 20 species are as endangered or threatened. The State classifies an additional 19 species as “Special Concern” (Table 3). Table 3. Special status bird species in New York.

A list of SGCN can be found in Attachment 7. The species on the SGCN list which are not designated as endangered, threatened, or special concern (Table 3) are not typically the subject of specialized management programs or increased protection. Relatively few of New York’s SGCN are associated with ‘forest interior’ habitat. Forested habitat was defined by Milne et al. (1996) as habitat in which tree canopy almost consistently meets from one individual tree to the next. Forman and Godron (1986) define forest interior habitat as ‘unbroken forest at least 100 meters (325 feet) from edges where habitat quality typically is positively correlated with forest patch size. Concerns associated with forest interior breeding species include habitat fragmentation/loss, exotic or invasive flora and fauna, and successional changes in forest structure, all of which influence their presence and abundance in tracts of forest (NYDEC 2005). Most New York SGCN species are associated with aquatic resources or open habitat.

Survey Methods Based on coordination with NYDEC and Stony Creek Wind Energy LLC, nine points for survey were selected by location and habitat type (pers. comm. with Brianna Gary NYDEC April 16, 2010). Survey points were located in three larger forest fragments found within the proposed development area. Three points numbered in sequential were placed per survey area. Points were situated a minimum of 300 feet (approximately 100 m) from forest edge and a minimum of 250 meters from each other. Points 199, 200, and 201 were situated in the northwest corner of the project area, in an area named Cobble Hill. The forest at these points appeared to be over-browsed by . The understory was open except for woody stems and tree trunks. Canopy cover was thick, and much of the surrounding area is active farmland. Point 199 was located near a forested wet area and open shrub habitat; no coniferous trees were present at Point 199. In the nearby vicinity were also open field and pasture. Point 200 was located on the far side of the shrub habitat, and had little coniferous habitat within 50 meters. Point 201 was located on the eastern side of the

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 19 of 31 hill top, and was situated near an old agricultural field containing re-growth, such as saplings and shrubs. This point was also within an active Maple (Acer spp.) syrup plantation maintained for little understory (Attachment 3a, 11, 12); it too contained no coniferous tree species. Points 193, 194, and 195 were situated on the southwest side of the project area. These points were in young deciduous forest near overgrown agricultural land, and contained a high level of brush and understory growth. The entire site was intersected with trails, ATV paths, and larger-scale dirt roads. Point 193 was located on the edge of a tract of Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) and the overstory vegetation at Point 193 was comprised of approximately 60% hemlock and 40% deciduous forest. Point 194 was located within a stand of young beech trees and was in a wetland area. This point is characterized by medium to low canopy height (< 25 feet) and open understory, containing less than 1% coniferous cover. Point 195 was located closest to a larger tract of reclaimed agricultural area; it was characterized by dense successional vegetation from the understory to the canopy (Attachment 3a, 11, 12); no coniferous trees were present at Point 195.. Points 196, 197, and 198 were situated in the south central portion of the project area, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) east of points 193-195. These points were located generally in a mixed-age deciduous forest which included areas recently disturbed by forestry activity. Point 196 was located 100 meters from active select-cut (significant opening of forest overstory) and clear-cut (skid-loader trails and staging areas) tracts; this point was also located near a cabin. No coniferous tree species were observed near this point. Point 197 was near a few vernal pools and had some white pine (Pinus strobus) located approximately 50 meters from the Point. The understory was of moderate density, and the canopy height was over 30 meters. Point 198 was within a small stand of eastern hemlock and had very little understory or ground cover (Attachment 3a, 11, 12). An observer visited each of the nine points a total of three times, once each on May 11, June 7, and June 21, beginning surveys at sunrise and continuing no later than 4 hours past sunrise. Counts were not conducted during heavy wind or rain, as per the Guidelines for Conducting Bird and Bat Studies at Commercial Wind Energy Projects (NYDEC 2009). The

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 20 of 31 observer navigated to each point on foot utilizing paper maps and a Garmin Etrex Vista Hcx handheld GPS unit, and then ensured the flagging marking the Point remained intact. Within one-minute of arriving at the Point, the observer began recording bird species detected by sight or song. During an eight-minute observation period, each bird detected was recorded with the following data: species, location (direction, distance from observer (< 50 m or > 50 m)), ID type (auditory or visual), bird behavior, and any pertinent notes. Behaviors were classified using four-letter coding specified in the Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas 2000 (Attachment 8). Fly-over species were also recorded, when possible, and noted as such in the notes column for that particular individual. The eight minute observation period was divided into two intervals, the first five minutes, and the final three. This was done to allow comparison with results from other studies using the NYDEC protocol, as well as the client’s internal protocol time of eight minutes (approved by Brianna Gary, NYDEC on April 20, 2010). The cover classes (in % of cover) of each of three height classes [Low (< 5 m), Medium (5–10 m), and High (> 10 m)] of forest were estimated at each point. Characteristics of the forest community (e.g., predominant tree species) were also noted. All data were recorded on a standardized data sheet for the project (Attachment 10c). Incidental sightings of species of concern were documented with location data and a description of their behaviors.

Analysis of Breeding Bird Survey Data Data were tabulated and reported with a total number of species observed (species richness), frequency (number of points at which a species is detected), relative frequency (percentage of points at which a species is present), abundance (number of individuals present), and relative abundance (number of individuals in relation to total number of individuals of all species) of each species were calculated, and any special behaviors of note were also reported. Because each point was visited three times, the tallies for each species were reported from the visit containing the greatest observed number of individuals (of that species). In addition, the most frequent and/or abundantly observed species were reported.

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 21 of 31

Weather conditions were recorded and are reported in attachment 9. Weather data were taken in the field, and supplemental data were used as necessary. Supplemental weather data were derived from www.weatherunderground.com, utilizing the historical data from Dansville, NY.

Breeding Bird Survey Results Fifty-seven species (Attachment 10) were identified during the point count surveys. Of those, no species listed as state- or federally endangered or threatened were observed. Four were species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) were detected: Cooper’s hawk, listed as a special concern species; black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens), listed as a rare occurrence in NY; wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), listed as a species secure in NY but of concern elsewhere; and worm-eating warbler (Helmitheros vermivorus), listed as a species thought to be secure in NY but of concern elsewhere. Of these four species of conservation concern, wood thrush were the only species observed to be in great abundance (12 individuals observed, relative frequency 78%); the other species previously mentioned were recorded relatively infrequently. Cooper’s hawk, the only state listed species of special concern were observed in low abundance (5 occurrences, relative frequency 56%). The species evenness, or number of each species relative to all individuals, appeared to be relatively level, with relative abundance ranging from 0.34% of all individuals recorded for 16 species (including: black-and-white warbler (Mniotilta varia), black-throated blue warbler, broad-winged hawk (Buteo platypterus), brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater), Carolina wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus), common raven ( corax), downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), field sparrow (Spizella pusilla), fish (Corvus ossifragus), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), palm warbler (Dendroica palmarum), (Melospiza melodia), Swainson’s thrush (Catharus ustulatus), Wilson’s warbler (Dendroica petechia), and worm-eating warbler) to 6.53 % of all individuals for black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus). The species richness, or number of species observed, at each point ranged from 18 at Point 197, to 26 at Point 199.

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 22 of 31

The twelve species that occurred most frequently in the survey were black-capped chickadee (relative frequency: 100% (of points)), ovenbird (relative frequency: 100%), red- eyed (relative frequency: 100%), (relative frequency: 100%), Eastern wood-pewee (relative frequency: 89%), wood thrush (relative frequency: 78%), yellow-bellied sapsucker (relative frequency: 78%), American redstart (relative frequency: 78%), American robin (relative frequency: 78%), blue (relative frequency: 78%), rose-breasted (relative frequency: 78%), and scarlet (relative frequency: 78%) (Table 4).

Breeding Bird Survey Summary The species observed within the breeding bird survey are typical of the habitat at survey points. Many of them, such as the black-capped chickadee or American crow are frequent visitors to back yards and populated or disturbed areas. These species do well in disturbed habitat, and are common in a variety of habitat. Species were usually found in relatively even numbers throughout all points. One point of interest is Point 198, where in a single day there were a greater number (seven) of black-throated green warblers recorded than other visits to that or any point. At other points, zero to two detections was recorded. This occurrence was an anomaly; the gathering of individuals was most probably caused by the concentration of foraging resources or a group of recently fledged individuals. The latter possibility is less likely, as all detected individuals were vocalizing as adults. It is a well-known phenomenon that fledgling individuals practice the song of adults, but rarely sound the same. No singing juvenile black-throated green warblers were detected.

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 24 of 31

Species that occur at lower frequencies and abundances may be considered occasional visitors to New York State. Some recorded species, such as the black-throated blue warbler or palm warbler are indicative of mature forest interior habitat, and these species do not inhabit the state in great numbers. Individuals of these species detected in our survey may have been migratory in nature, and were typically observed once, during the peak migration period for neotropical warblers. Other species recorded, such as the broad-winged hawk may breed in the project area, but seldomly observed due to their behavior and biology. Fragmentation of forest habitat was evident during our survey, and was easily observed by traveling through the region. The project area is bisected by state and local roads, off-road vehicle trails, and agricultural fields. The largest contiguous tract of forest in the project layout area was approximately 516 acres (209 ha) (measured digitally using GIS technology), located in the far southwest corner of the project layout area. This tract is bordered by roads on two sides, and by agricultural and residential properties on the other two. Evidence of fragmentation and anthropological impacts may be present in our survey results. For instance, brown-headed cowbird, song sparrow, field sparrow, and eastern were all detected during surveys. These species are typically indicative of edge or open habitat, and some observed ( and American robin) seem directly associated with human activity. Survey Point 199 yielded the highest species richness, with 26 species of birds (25 species and 2 UNWO, or unknown woodpecker) observed. This point was located in a parcel of hilltop forest adjacent to a wet area containing brushy habitat, and near an open field and pasture. The species assemblage observed here reflects this habitat types. Of note, this was the only point where Wilson’s warbler and black-throated blue warbler were observed. Also, Point 199 was one of two (the other being Point 200) where black-billed cuckoo were detected. In contrast, survey Point 197 held the lowest species richness of the 9 points surveyed; 18 species were detected. The 18 species detected are typical of a variety of habitats, from abandoned agricultural field with a component of brush and young trees to true forest interior. The habitat at this location is reflective of a late successional forest. It contains a brushy understory; however has a complete and intact canopy of both deciduous and coniferous forest.

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 25 of 31

Nearby are a few small vernal pools. Species detected at Point 197 are typical of a fragmented forest patch. No federally listed or NYDEC threatened or endangered species were observed during the breeding bird surveys. New York species of concern, however, were observed. Cooper’s hawk were detected at five of nine points (56%), including points 199 through 201, a series of three consecutive points located in the northwestern corner of the project, on Cobble Hill. The proximity of these points and the frequency of detection of this species (once at each point, for a relative frequency of 33% for all visits to these three points combined) suggests appropriate foraging/nesting habitat for this species. This may be a different individual observed once at each point, however Cooper’s inhabit home ranges between 400 and 1800 hectares (1000 to 4400 acres) during the breeding season in New York, Michigan, Oregon, and New Mexico (Craighead and Craighead 1956, Reynolds 1989), suggesting that these observations may have been a single bird.

V. Incidental Sightings There were several incidental sightings during the project. Incidental sightings were those observations made on non-focal species, or focal species observed while conducting other surveys. Incidental observations of non-focal species considered to be a species of concern were recorded. Data collected on incidental sightings consisted of date, species, location (in reference to nearest survey point), and time of observation. Efforts were made to make specific notes of the sighting. During surveys, a total of 17 incidental observations were made of non-focal species (Table 6). Incidental sightings included horned lark, common nighthawk, Cooper’s hawk, osprey, red-shouldered hawk, and golden-winged warbler. All species observed are listed as species of concern in the State of New York, but none are listed as threatened or endangered.

These observations took place on April 28 and 29, 2010. It is likely that these observations were of the same individual. No osprey nests were documented during bald eagle nest searches. Cooper’s hawks were observed at multiple locations during the survey period. Incidental observations included three at Point BAEA (April 29, May 11, and June 8, 2010) and one at Point NOHA2 on June 21, 2010 (Figure 2). The observations of individuals around BAEA were over or near the woodlot located immediately to the east of the survey point. The observation at Point NOHA2 was of an individual flying indirectly to the west of the point.

Stony Creek Wind Farm Avian Survey January 24, 2011 Page 27 of 31

The horned lark observation took place on April 29, 2010 while returning to the vehicle after a period of bald eagle surveys. The flock of approximately 12 individuals was foraging in a harvested cornfield near a meteorological tower, in the immediate vicinity of the point BAEA ORIG (Figure 1, Attachment 3a). The common nighthawk was also observed on April 29, 2010, while observers were ground-truthing other survey points. This observation occurred approximately 100 meters south of the observation point NOHA 1 (Figure 2). The observed individual flew across the harvested cornfield, directly under the guy wires supporting a meteorological tower, and into the mixed coniferous forest to the west. The golden-winged warbler sighting occurred on May 11, 2010. This species was detected at NOHA 1 (Figure 2), the same location as the previous nighthawk observation. There were multiple individuals singing from within the mixed coniferous forest to the west of the observation point. Finally, three red-shouldered hawks were observed on June 21, 2010 during the northern harrier survey. Two of the hawks were adults, and one was an immature; the immature individual was most likely a fledgling, as it followed the adults and was returning communication with them. These observations took place at NOHA 3 (Figure 2, Attachment 3a). The distance to observer varied from approximately 50 meters to 800 meters overhead. It is presumed that these individuals appeared more than once, because they would momentarily disappear, then reappear from the same area moments later; they could be heard almost continually calling to one another during the entire two-hour northern harrier survey period.

Appendix A. NYS Department of Conservation Breeding Bird Survey Codes

Breeding Breeding Description Behavior Code

Possible X Species observed in possible nesting habitat, but no other indication of breeding noted; singing male(s) present (or breeding calls heard) in breeding season. S Singing male present (or breeding calls heard). P Pair observed in suitable habitat in breeding season. Bird (or pair) apparently holding territory. In addition to territorial singing, T chasing of other individuals of same species often marks a territory.

Courtship and display, agitated behavior or anxiety calls from adults suggesting Probable D probable presence nearby of a nest or young; well-developed brood-patch or cloacal protuberance on trapped adult. Includes copulation. Visiting probable nest site. Nest building by and woodpeckers. Wrens may N build many nests. Woodpeckers, although they usually drill only one nest cavity, also drill holes just for roosting. B Nest building or excavation of a nest hole.

DD Distraction display or injury-feigning. Agitated behavior and/or anxiety calls are Probable-D. Used nest found. Caution: These must be carefully identified if they are to be UN counted as evidence. Some nests (e.g. Baltimore Oriole) are persistent and very characteristic. Most are difficult to identify correctly. FE Female with in the oviduct (by bird bander). Recently fledged young (including downy young of precocious species - waterfowl, shorebirds). This code should be used with caution for species such FL as blackbirds and , which may move some distance soon after fledging. Recently fledged are still dependent on their parents and are fed by them.

Adult(s) entering or leaving nest site in circumstances indicating occupied nest. NOT generally used for open nesting birds. It should be used for hole nesters Confirmed ON only when a bird enters a hole and remains inside, makes a change-over at a hole, or leaves a hole after having been inside for some time. If you simply see a bird fly into or out of a bush or tree, and do not find a nest, the correct code would be Probable-N. FS Adult carrying fecal sac.

Adult(s) with food for young. Some birds (gulls, terns, and raptors) continue to feed their young long after they are fledged, and even after they have moved FY considerable distances. Also, some birds (e.g. terns) may carry food over long distances to their young in a neighboring block. Be especially careful on the edge of a block. Care should be taken to avoid confusion with courtship feeding (Probable-D). Identifiable nest and , bird setting on nest or egg, identifiable eggshells NE found beneath nest, or identifiable dead nestling(s). If you find a cowbird egg in a nest, it is NE for Cowbird, and NE for the identified nest's owner.

NY Nest with young. If you find a young cowbird with other young, it is NY for cowbird and NY for identified nest owner. Weather and Observation Codes Wind Speed: Enter code: 0-less than 1 km/h, (calm, smoke rises vertically); 1 - 1-5 km/h, (smoke drift shows wind direction); 2 - 6-11 km/h, (leaves rustle, wind felt on face); 3 - 12-19 km/h, (leaves, small twigs in constant motion; light flag extended); 4 - 20-28 km/h (raises dust, leaves, loose paper; small branches in motion); 5 - 29-38 km/h (small trees in leaf sway); 6 - 39-49 km/h (larger branches in motion; whistling heard in wires); 7 - 50-61 km/h (whole trees in motion; resistance felt walking against the wind); 8 - 62-74 km/h (twigs small branches broken off trees; walking generally impeded); 9 - Greater than 75 km/h.

Wind Direction: Enter compass direction from which the wind is coming, i.e., N, NNE, SE, etc. If variable, enter VAR.

Temperature: Record temperature in degrees Celsius.

Humidity: Record the percent relative humidity.

Barometric Pressure: Record barometric pressure in inches.

Cloud Cover: Record percent of sky with background cloud cover.

Visibility: Judge from your longest view and enter distance in kilometers. To convert miles to kilometers multiply by 1.61.

Precipitation: Enter code: 0 for none, 1 for Haze or Fog, 2 for Drizzle, 3 for Rain, 4 for Thunderstorm, 5 for Snow, 6 for wind driven dust, sand or snow.

Flight Direction: Enter compass direction migrants are heading, i.e., S, SSW, etc.

Height of Flight: Height of Flight. Enter code: 0 - Below eye level; 1 - Eye level to about 30 meters; 2 - Birds seen easily with unaided eye (eyeglasses not counted as aids); 3 - At limit of unaided vision; 4 - Beyond limit of unaided eye but visible with binoculars - to 10X; 5 - At limit of binoculars; 6 - Beyond limit of binoculars 10X or less, but can detect with binoculars or telescope of greater power (Mark "1" in COMMENT box and note magnification); 7 - No predominant height.

Observers: Number of observers CONTRIBUTING to the count for the hour noted.

Duration of Observation: Specify time in minutes.

Attachment 7 Species of Greatest Conservation Need List

NEW YORK

Codes Used in Species Lists/Tables

The following codes are used in the various species tables.

Listing Status:

E/T/SC indicates if State-listed as Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern. (E)/(T)/(C) indicates if federally-listed as Endangered, Threatened or Candidate for listing.

NE Concern:

"X" indicates if species was listed as Wildlife Species of Regional Conservation concern in the Northeastern United States (Therres, 1999)

Heritage S-rank: state rank by NY Natural Heritage Program indicated as follows:

S1 - typically 5 or fewer occurrences S2 - typically 6-20 occurrences S3 - typically 21 - 100 occurrences S4 - apparently secure in NYS S5 - demonstrably secure in NYS SA - accidental species SH - historically known from NYS, but not seen in the past 15 years SX - apparently extirpated from NYS SR - reported to occur in NYS, but no specific locations documented SU - species unrankable due to uncertainty about number of occurrences SZ - species occurs in NYS, but generally not in specific locations S? - species not evaluated yet NR - not rated yet Modifiers - (B) signifies that the species breeds instate, (N) signifies it does not breed instate

Other rankings:

Audubon Watch List: "WL" indicates bird species included on the 2002 National Audubon Society Watchlist Partners in Flight Concern Species: "PIF" indicates bird species ranked by Partners in Flight Shorebird Plan: "SP" indicates bird species ranked as "Highly Imperiled" or "Species of High Concern" for one or more regions of the northeastern U.S. in the United States Shorebird Conservation Plan (Brown et al. 2001) DEC Staff Judgement: "DEC" indicates species added to the list based on professional judgement of appropriate NYSDEC staff experts

"Species of Greatest Conservation Need" in New York State

Note: to facilitate locating species of interest, the list is broken into major taxonomic groups (Tables 1 - 11), then listed alphabetically by species common name.
