Bird
Species List for Rose Canyon
These
data are from a 3 mile x 3 mile square
that includes Rose Canyon. We're fortunate
to have at least 99 species of birds
recorded in Rose Canyon! Eleven of those
are on the DFG list, but fortunately
for the birds most of the eleven are
listed as "secure".
Also, in May 2002, FRC member Gretchen
Nell reported an Olive-sided
Flycatcher
near Genesee. That makes a total of 100
birds now for our species list! |
Asterisk (*) denotes
reported species observation during listed
