    WESTERN BIR Volume 31, Number 3, 2000 NESTING POPULATIONS OF CLwO AND RING-BI--F-r GULLS IN CALIFORNIA: RECENT SURVEYS AND HISTORICAL STATUS W. DAVID SHUFORD, Point Reyes Bird Observatory(PRBO), 4990 Shoreline Highway, StinsonBeach, California94970 THOMAS P. RYAN, San FranciscoBay Bird Observatory(SFBBO), P.O. Box 247, 1290 Hope Street,Alviso, California 95002 ABSTRACT: Statewidesurveys from 1994 to 1997 revealed33,125 to 39,678 breedingpairs of CaliforniaGulls and at least9611 to 12,660 pairsof Ring-billed Gullsin California.Gulls nested at 12 inland sitesand in San FranciscoBay. The Mono Lake colonywas by far the largestof the CaliforniaGull, holding 70% to 80% of the statepopulation, followed by SanFrancisco Bay with 11% to 14%. ButteValley WildlifeArea, Clear Lake NationalWildlife Refuge, and Honey Lake WildlifeArea were the only othersites that heldover 1000 pairsof CaliforniaGulls. In mostyears, Butte Valley, Clear Lake, Big Sage Reservoir,and Honey Lake togetherheld over 98% of the state'sbreeding Ring-billed Gulls; Goose Lake held9% in 1997. Muchof the historicalrecord of gullcolonies consists of estimatestoo roughfor assessmentof populationtrends. Nevertheless, California Gulls, at least,have increased substantially in recentdecades, driven largely by trendsat Mono Lake and San FranciscoBay (first colonizedin 1980). Irregularoccupancy of some locationsreflects the changing suitabilityof nestingsites with fluctuatingwater levels.In 1994, low water at six sites allowedcoyotes access to nestingcolonies, and resultingpredation appeared to reducenesting success greatly at threesites. Nesting islands secure from predators and humandisturbance are nestinggulls' greatest need. Conover(1983) compileddata suggestingthat breedingpopulations of Ring-billed(Larus delawarensis)and California(Larus californicus)gulls haveincreased greafiy in the Westin recentdecades. Detailed assessments of populationstatus and trends of these speciesin individualwestern states, however,have been publishedonly for Washington(Conover et al.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • Petition to List the Clear Lake Hitch Under the Endangered Species
    Petition to List the Clear Lake Hitch (Lavinia exilicauda chi) As Endangered or Threatened Under the Endangered Species Act Submitted To: U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office 2800 Cottage Way, Room W-2605 Sacramento, CA 95825 Secretary of the Interior Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20240 Submitted By: Center for Biological Diversity Date: September 25, 2012 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Center for Biological Diversity petitions the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the Clear Lake hitch (Lavinia exilicauda chi) as an endangered or threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act. The Clear Lake hitch is a fish species endemic to Clear Lake, California and its tributaries. A large minnow once so plentiful that it was a staple food for the original inhabitants of the Clear Lake region, the Clear Lake hitch has declined precipitously in abundance as the ecology of its namesake lake has been altered and degraded. Clear Lake hitch once spawned in all of the tributary streams to Clear Lake. The hitch life cycle involves migration each spring, when adults make their way upstream in tributaries of Clear Lake, spawning, and then return to Clear Lake. The biologically significant masses of hitch were a vital part of the Clear Lake ecosystem, an important food source for numerous birds, fish, and other wildlife. Hitch in “unimaginably abundant” numbers once clogged the lake’s tributaries during spectacular spawning runs. Historical accounts speak of “countless thousands” and “enormous” and “massive” numbers of hitch. The Clear Lake basin and its tributaries have been dramatically altered by urban development and agriculture.

  • Relative Dating and the Rock Art of Lava Beds National Monument
    RELATIVE DATING AND THE ROCK ART OF LAVA BEDS NATIONAL MONUMENT Georgia Lee and William D. Hyder University of California, Los Angeles University of California, Santa Barbara ABSTRACT Dating rock art has long been a serious impediment to its use in archaeological research. Two rock art sites in Lava Beds National Monument present an unusual opportunity for the establishment of a relative dating scheme tied to external environmental events. In the case of Petroglyph Point, extended wet and dry climatic cycles produced changes in the levels of Tule Lake that successively covered, eroded, and then exposed the petroglyph bearing surfaces. Similarly, wet periods would have precluded painting at the nearby Fern Cave as the cave walls would have been too wet for paint to bond to the wall. The study of past climatic conditions, coupled with other archaeological evidence, allows us to present a model from which a relative chronology for Modoc rock art of Northeastern California covering the past 5,000 years can be constructed. INTRODUCTION Lava Beds National Monument is located in northeastern California, south of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Aside from a very interesting history that encompasses the Modoc Indians (and their predecessors) and the famous Modoc Wars of 1872-73, the Monument has numerous natural geological features of interest, as well as some outstanding rock art sites. It is also on the migratory bird flyway, making it a popular area for hunters and bird watchers alike. During World War II a Japanese internment camp was located nearby. These various attractions serve to draw a number of visitors to the Monument throughout the year.

  • 6 Historic Resources
    6 historic resources 6.5 Policies and Implementing Actions The Sciaroni Winery and Distillery dates from the 1880s. A range of policies and implementing actions are outlined below and organized into the following topic areas: 1. Protected Historic Resources; and 2. Historic Resources Awareness The policies mandate, encourage or allow certain actions to be pursued throughout the duration of the General Plan. Together, they serve as strategic directions for City staff and partners, highlighting where time and resources should be focused. ST. HELENA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE 2035, APRIL 2016 | 6-13 6 historic resources topic area 1 PROTECTED HISTORIC RESOURCES Policies HR1.1 Preserve the City’s historic and cultural resources, so that they may contrib- ute to the special character and quality of the City and support its economic base. HR1.2 Protect the historic resources that exist in the downtown commercial area. HR1.3 Encourage the adaptive reuse, rehabilitation and retrofit of historic buildings in which the original use is no longer feasible. HR1.4 Promote the application of sustainable building practices to the preser- vation of historic resources. HR1.5 If historic resources are suspected by the City of being present on a pro- sposed development site the City shall conduct a records search at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System to determine if a project has the potential to affect an archaeologi- cal site and if additional project-specific study for cultural resources is recommended. The City may require additional cultural resources study if rec- ommended by the NWIC, with the study address- ing project-specific impacts on archaeological and paleontological resources.

  • View the Klamath Summary Report
    SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT — KLAMATH BASIN GENERAL STREAM ADJUDICATION From the top of a fault formed ridge overlooking the expansive Upper Klamath Lake, the rest of the world seems to fall away. Unbroken blue skies and dry, thin air stretches the horizon impossibly far. To the east, parched buttes roll through deep, green farm-filled valleys. To the west, only the rugged, snow- capped Cascades can rein in the view. The feeling of freedom that defines the American West is alive in this place. Prepared by the Oregon Water Resources Department — October 1999 he Klamath Basin defies the soggy Northwest stereotype. The Cascade TMountains steal the moisture from eastward winds, transforming the damp, green Oregon known to most of the country. Away from the mountainsides, Lodge Pole and Ponderosa Pines supplant the water-dependent firs. The moss-covered logs and thick tangles of plants of the western forests are gone. In their place, reddish- black volcanic rocks speckle hillsides adorned with dusty sage. Sandy pumice soils are exposed to the wind and sun by the sparse ground cover. Everything seems to crack and crumble underfoot. Despite these desert-like conditions, an oasis of lakes, rivers, and marshes teams with wildlife. The remnants of a huge prehistoric lake once provided a cache of resources that allowed the Basin’s earliest human inhabitants to thrive in an otherwise formi- dable environment. Much time has passed and cultures have changed, but the reliance on these same resources has not. For more than 100 years, settlers, homesteaders, and their descendants have defied the desert by transforming vast lakes and marshes into farms and pasture–creating a heritage in the process.

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).

  • Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan
    County of Lake Public Services Department Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan January 11, 2011 County of Lake Public Services Department Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan January 11, 2011 PREPARED FOR: County of Lake Public Services Department PREPARED BY: Alta Planning + Design COVER PHOTO BY: Rivers, Trails, and Ron Keas Conservation Assistance Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan Acknowledgements The development of the Konocti Regional Trails (KRT) Master Plan would not have happened without the tremendous amount of volunteer energy and time that went into this project. Holly Harris and Chuck Lamb were the catalysts for this trails effort and have been instrumental in moving the planning process forward over the past two years. Each has contributed countless hours in many capacities – from on-the-ground mapping of land- and water-based trails, to sharing the concept of a countywide network of trails with business owners, service organizations, and property owners, to developing content and creating the KRT web site. Many community members and organizations from across Lake County have stepped forward at various stages to provide valuable input by responding to surveys, attending workshops and meetings, and suggesting and prioritizing trail concepts. This input provided the basis for this plan, which exemplifies a successful grassroots, community-driven effort. Under the guidance and expertise of Barbara Rice of the National Park Service, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program, the KRT Team had a seasoned trails expert involved from day one. As part of a grant from NPS-RTCA, Ms. Rice provided technical assistance and support to the KRT Team throughout the process.
