Table 4.11-1 Mountain House Species Status, continued <br /> Species Status Preferred Habitat <br /> While-faced ibis CSC/FC(2) Forages in shallow open water and mud flats; nests <br /> (Plegadis chihi) in freshwater marshes with emergent vegetation <br /> Sacramento sphitail CSC/FC(2) Occurs in dead-end sloughs and other slow moving <br /> (Pogonichthys waters of Delta <br /> macrolepidotus) <br /> San Joaquin kit fox ST/FE Forages in grassland, alkali scrub, and other atypical <br /> (Vulpes macrotis mutica) habitat; usually dens in enlarged rodent burrows, as <br /> well as culverts, pipes, and outer locations <br /> Plants (State/Federal/CNPS)' <br /> California hibiscus --/FC(3B)/2' Occurs along edge of riparian and freshwater marsh <br /> (Hibiscus lasiocarpus) <br /> Mason's lilaeopsis SR/FC(2)/1B Occurs along stream batiks and marshes in tidal <br /> (Lilaeopsis masonif) portion of Delta <br /> ' Federal Status: <br /> FE - Listed as endangered under the FESA. <br /> FT - Listed as threatened under the FESA. <br /> FC(2) - A candidate species under review for federal lis(ing. Category 2 includes species for which the USFWS <br /> presently has some biological information indicating that "proposing to list them as endangered or threatened species <br /> is possibly appropriate, but for which further biological research and field study is usually needed to determine <br /> biological vulnerability and threats." Category 2 species are not necessarily less rare or less threatened than Category <br /> 1 species. The distinction relates to the amount of data available and is therefore administrative rather than biological. <br /> FC(3B) - Species in Category 3 are not current candidates for federal listing. Category 3B includes taxa which are <br /> no longer considered distinct taxa meeting the definition of"species" under the FESA. <br /> State Status: <br /> SE - Listed as endangered under the CESA. <br /> SR - Listed as rare under the CESA. - <br /> ST - Listed as threatened under the CESA. <br /> CSC- Considered a "species of special concern' by the CDFG; species have no formal legal protection but nest sites <br /> and communal roosts are generally recognized as significant biotic features. <br /> CNPS Status: <br /> List IB - Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere. <br /> List 2 - Plants rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere. <br /> Black-shouldered kite does not have a specific designated status,but is of concern to the CDFG because its numbers <br /> are declining. <br /> ' California hibiscus is no longer a federal candidate species, having been placed in Category 313, which includes taxa <br /> once considered for listing but no longer under consideration and that are not current candidates for listing. This <br /> species has been reclassified from Hibiscus californicus to Hibiscus lasiocarpus in the recent Jepson Manual, and is <br /> now considered common outside of California, resulting in its placement on List 2 of the CNPS Inventory. <br /> R10114B.BIO-8/11/94 4.11-9 <br />
