ACTION: Notice of Availability. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), the National Park Service (NPS) has prepared a Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River Final Comprehensive Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (Final Tuolumne River Plan/EIS). The Final Tuolumne River Plan/EIS fulfills the requirements of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (P.L. 90-542, as amended) (WSRA) and will provide a long-term management program for the 54 miles of the Tuolumne River that flow through Yosemite National Park. The purpose of the Final Tuolumne River Plan/EIS is to protect the river’s free-flowing character and the values that make it worthy of designation by (1) reviewing and updating river corridor boundaries and segment classifications, (2) prescribing a process for the protection of the river’s free-flowing condition, (3) identifying and documenting the condition of the river’s outstandingly remarkable values, (4) identifying management actions needed to protect and enhance river values, (5) establishing management 1 objectives for river values and a monitoring program for ensuring the objectives are met, and (6) defining visitor use and user capacity for the river corridor.

    Northern California 2018

    Northern California 2018 Yellow-billed Magpie, Mines Road California Scrub Jay, Del Valle Regional Park, Mines Road Introduction After a very nice trip to New York and New Jersey in 2016, my wife and I and our two boys (12 and 15) again decided to go the United States in spring. I have been birding the western part of the country (Washington State and Arizona) on previous visits to the USA, but I had never been to California before, so there were still about forty endemic or range restricted new species to look for, and although this was a family holiday, I succeeded in finding 37 lifers, May 1st to May 10th 2018. Allen’s Hummingbird, San Francisco Nuttall’s Woodpecker, Mines Road We arrived by plane on May 1 and spent the next two days in San Francisco. The first day we visited San Francisco Botanical Garden (Allen’s Hummingbird and California Scrub Jay) and walked through Golden Gate Park (McGillivray’s Warbler and California Towhee) all the way to Land’s End (Black Oystercatcher), where we took bus 38 back to our hotel in Market Street. The next day we walked the piers near Fisherman’s Wharf (Clark’s Grebe) and boarded the ferry to Alcatraz (Elegant Tern), enjoying perfect weather and amazing vistas. On 4 May we picked up our rental car (booked in advance) at Alamo in downtown San Francisco and drove to Mines Road near Livermore. At Mines Road we connected with all the species we set out for: California Quail (lots of them!), Greater Roadrunner, Nuttall’s Woodpecker, Lewis’s Woodpecker, Yellow-billed Magpie, Wrentit, California Thrasher, Bell’s Sparrow and Lawrence’s Goldfinch; most of these birds were seen at MP 6.27 in Alameda County.
