There are habitats such as numerous records of Swainson's hawks in the CNDDB grasslands fields (2021) search area within a mile of the site including a record supporting rodents. just west of the site in a large tree along Pock Lane. Tricolored Agelaius tricolor None T N/A Requires open water Unlikely: the project site provides low-quality, but potentially blackbird and protected suitable foraging habitat for tricolored blackbird. However, nesting substrate, there is no suitable nesting habitat for this species in or near usually cattails and the site. The nearest occurrence of this species in the riparian scrub with CNDDB (2021) search area is a large nonspecific record surrounding foraging around the City of Stockton, including the project site. habitat. Least Bell's Vireo bellii E E N/A Nests in willow Unlikely: there is no suitable riparian habitat for least Bell's vireo pusillus thickets and other vireo in or near the site and this species is not known from shrubs, primarily in the area. The nearest occurrence of least Bell's vireo in the southern California CNDDB (2021) search area is a historical population from riparian forests. 1878 mapped non-specifically in downtown Stockton, approximately 3 miles northwest of the site. White-tailed Elanus leucurus None FP N/A Herbaceous Low: the disked grassland in the site provides suitable kite lowlands with foraging habitat for white-tailed kite and trees in and near the variable tree growth site are suitable for nesting. The nearest occurrence of white- and dense tailed kite in the CNDDB (2021) search area is approximately population of voles. 1 mile northwest of the site. Burrowing owl Athene None SC N/A Open, dry annual or Low: the disked grassland in the site provides poor quality cunicularia perennial habitat for burrowing owl and only a few ground squirrel grasslands, deserts burrows were observed in the site.
