During the <br /> non-breeding season (September 1 through January 31)burrowing owls <br /> occupying the project site may be evicted from the project site by passive <br /> relocation as described by the (CDFG(2012). Burrow exclusion and closure <br /> is not permitted during the breeding season. <br /> Loggerhead Shrike <br /> Loggerhead shrike has been observed foraging in the project area. Participation in <br /> the SJMSCP affords the project proponent Incidental Take authorization for <br /> loggerhead shrike pursuant to ESA, CESA and CEQA. Although little suitable <br /> nesting habitat is present on site, as outlined in the SJMSCP5, the following <br /> incidental take avoidance measures shall be followed: <br /> • Prior to the initiation of ground clearing, grubbing, grading or excavation <br /> activities, a scheduled to occur during the breeding season (i.e., February 1 - <br /> August 15),preconstruction survey shall be performed by a qualified <br /> biologist. <br /> • A setback of 100 feet from loggerhead shrike nest sites shall be established <br /> and maintained during the nesting season(i.e., February 1 to August 15)for <br /> the period encompassing nest building and continuing until fledglings leave <br /> nests. This setback applies whenever construction or other ground- <br /> disturbing activities must begin during the nesting season in the presence of <br /> nests that are known to be occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly <br /> colored temporary fencing. <br /> s SJMSCP Chapter 5.2.4.18 <br />
