Largely endemic to <br />California. Requires open water, <br />protected nesting substrate, and <br />foraging area with insect prey <br />within a few km of the colony. <br />Moderate <br />Suitable habitat exists <br />within the Study Area, <br />and several recorded <br />occurrences are located <br />near the Study Area. <br />Wintering birds and a few <br />individuals have been <br />observed during breeding <br />season, but no nesting <br />colonies have been <br />identified within 1/4 mile <br />of the Study Area. <br />grasshopper <br />sparrow <br />Ammodramus <br />savannarum -/- <br />CDFW_SSC- <br />Species of <br />Special <br />Concern | <br />IUCN_LC- <br />Least <br />Concern <br />Valley & foothill grassland <br />Dense grasslands on rolling hills, <br />lowland plains, in valleys and on <br />hillsides on lower mountain <br />slopes. Favors native grasslands <br />with a mix of grasses, forbs and <br />scattered shrubs. Loosely <br />colonial when nesting. <br />Low <br />Minimal suitable nesting <br />habitat is present within <br />the Study Area. Species <br />has been observed rarely <br />in the winter, although <br />the Study Area is not <br />within 5 miles of the <br />known occurrences. <br />Lesser sandhill <br />crane <br />Antigone <br />canadensis <br />canadensis <br />-/- <br />CDFW_SSC- <br />Species of <br />Special <br />Concern <br /> <br /> <br />Wetlands <br />Forages in harvested corn fields, <br />winter wheat, irrigated <br />pastures, alfalfa fields, and <br />fallow fields. Roosts in open <br />shallowly flooded fields and <br />wetlands. <br />High <br />Suitable habitat present <br />for foraging and roosting, <br />and they have been <br />observed regularly in the <br />winter within the Study <br />Area.
