Arizona Wildlife Notebook
ARIZONA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ARIZONA WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK GARRY ROGERS Praise for Arizona Wildlife Notebook “Arizona Wildlife Notebook” by Garry Rogers is a comprehensive checklist of wildlife species existing in the State of Arizona. This notebook provides a brief description for each of eleven (11) groups of wildlife, conservation status of all extant species within that group in Arizona, alphabetical listing of species by common name, scientific names, and room for notes. “The Notebook is a statewide checklist, intended for use by wildlife watchers all over the state. As various individuals keep track of their personal observations of wildlife in their specific locality, the result will be a more selective checklist specific to that locale. Such information would be vitally useful to the State Wildlife Conservation Department, as well as to other local agencies and private wildlife watching groups. “This is a very well-documented snapshot of the status of wildlife species – from bugs to bats – in the State of Arizona. Much of it should be relevant to neighboring states, as well, with a bit of fine-tuning to accommodate additions and deletions to the list. “As a retired Wildlife Biologist, I have to say Rogers’ book is perhaps the simplest to understand, yet most comprehensive in terms of factual information, that I have ever had occasion to peruse. This book should become the default checklist for Arizona’s various state, federal and local conservation agencies, and the basis for developing accurate local inventories by private enthusiasts as well as public agencies. "Arizona Wildlife Notebook" provides a superb starting point for neighboring states who may wish to emulate Garry Rogers’ excellent handiwork. -

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA). -
Dragonflies and Damselflies Havasu National Wildlife Refuge
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Dragonflies and Damselflies Havasu National Wildlife Refuge Dragonfly and damselfly at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge There are twenty-five dragonfly and damselfly species listed at the 37,515 acre Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, one of more than 540 refuges throughout the United States. These National Wildlife Refuges are administered by the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. The Fish and Wildlife Service mission is to work with others “to conserve fish and wildlife and their habitat.” General Information Havasu National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 37,515 acres adjacent to the Colorado River. Topock Marsh, Topock Gorge, and the Havasu Wilderness constitute the three major portions of the refuge. Dragonflies, an important Male blue-ringed dancer sedula indicator of water quality, can be found © Dave Welling Photography on the refuge, primarily in Topock Marsh Libellula luctuosa Tramea onusta and Topock Gorge. Dragonflies can be Widow Skimmer Red Saddlebags viewed on the refuge year-round, with hot, sunny days providing some of the L. pulchella Pond Damsels–Dancers (Coenagrionidae) best viewing.

PARA 1109 Trip Report
Annotated List of Animal Species Observed In and Adjacent to the Mojave Desert Portion of Grand Canyon ⎯ Parashant National Monument James L. Boone, Ph.D. Desert Wildlife Consultants, LLC 3112 Ivory Coast Dr. Las Vegas, NV October 2011 For electronic copies of these data, contact the author at [email protected] Annotated List of Animal Species Observed In and Adjacent to the Mojave Desert Portion of Grand Canyon ⎯ Parashant National Monument James L. Boone, Ph.D. Desert Wildlife Consultants, LLC Las Vegas, NV October 2011 Abstract. Observations of animals in the Mojave Desert portion of Grand Canyon ⎯ Parashant National Monument were recorded, providing evidence for the presence of 93 species of birds, 20 species of mammals, 15 species of herps, and 18 species of odonates. Some of these species have not previously been documented in the area. The only surprising observation was of two Uinta Chipmunks (Tamias umbrinus) at Middle Spring. These animals were outside of the expected range, outside of typical habitat, below the expected elevation, and vocalized in a manner unexpected for a chipmunk. It is possible that these chipmunks are Pleistocene relicts stranded at the spring and isolated from others of their kind, possibly representing an undescribed subspecies. For electronic copies of these data, contact Jim Boone at [email protected] Introduction. Grand Canyon ⎯ Parashant National Monument (PARA) lies in the little-visited northwest corner of Arizona, north of the Colorado River, west of Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA), and east of the Nevada State Line. In this region, Lake Mead and the Colorado River (300-ft setback from maximum pool height) are included in Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LAKE). -

Empire Spring Monitoring Report 2004 – 20013 Jeff Simms, Fishery Biologist 07-09-2014
Empire Spring Monitoring Report 2004 – 20013 Jeff Simms, Fishery Biologist 07-09-2014 Introduction Empire Gulch is a tributary to Cienega Creek on the Las Cienegas NCA north of Sonoita, Arizona. The upper spring (Empire Spring) is located adjacent to the Empire Ranch building complex. This perennial spring issues from a relatively stable head-cut erosion feature and can be described as a depression type spring (Sada et al. 2001). Water flows between 6 and 40 gpm and thermally stable at its source with a temperature range from 13.0 to 20.5°C. Dissolved oxygen at the source varies seasonally from 2.7 to 6.3 (BLM files: monthly survey 2008-2013) . However, temperature and other water quality parameters vary downstream. The length of flow varied from 790ft to over 1,400ft during the period 2006 to 2010 (BLM files: annual June wet/dry stream monitoring). The riparian area is comprised of Fremont’s cottonwood (Populus fremontii), Goodding willow (Salix gooddingii), yew willow (Salix taxifolia), and Arizona Walnut (Juglans major). Understory plants include Eleocharis spp., Juncus articus var. balticus, yerba mansa (Amnopsis californica), and water cress (Rorippa nasturtium- aquaticum) and duck weed (Lemna sp.). Stream substrate is composed of soft mud and decaying organic material. The channel is comprised of habitat features including trench pools, glides and short runs. Often the glides and runs will be choked with emergent vegetation (marsh) and pools are often covered with a nearly complete layer of duckweed provided there has not been any recent flooding. Gila topminnow (Poeciliopsis occidentalis occidentalis) and longfin dace (Agosia chrysogaster) from Cienega Creek were first transplanted to this spring run below the head pool in 2001. -
San Bernardino Leslie Canyon
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service San Bernardino/ Leslie Canyon National Wildlife Refuges Watchable Wildlife List Welcome to San San Bernardino National Wildlife Bernardino and Refuge (NWR) and Leslie Canyon Leslie Canyon NWR are internationally significant National Wildlife sanctuaries established to protect Refuges and recover a variety of fish, wildlife, and their habitats. These refuges offer oases within the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert, providing resting, breeding, and year-around habitat for a significant number and diversity of animals. At least 314 bird species have been documented on the refuges, including many nesting This blue goose, species. In addition, 65 mammal, designed by J.N. 41 reptile, 11 amphibian, 8 fish, and “Ding” Darling, hundreds of invertebrate species have has become the been documented. San Bernardino symbol of the NWR and Leslie Canyon NWR National Wildlife provide a critical role in maintaining a Refuge System. sanctuary for several federally-listed threatened and endangered species, and both refuges currently provide a protected land base helping in the recovery of several Rió Yaqui species. The refuges lie within the Rió Yaqui Basin, a large watershed that drains portions of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico in the United States, and eastern Sonora and western Chihuahua in Mexico. The San Bernardino Ciénega (marshy wetland) was historically the most extensive wetland in the region, and forms an important migratory link between Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental and the Rocky Mountains to the north. The extensive and dependable wetlands in this area historically provided habitat for eight species of fish, nearly one-fourth of the species native to Arizona. -
