In a news release today from United States Fish and Wildlife Service announced that, after making a '90 day finding' about 374 aquatic dependent species, " the Service will now undertake a more thorough status review before determining whether to propose any of them for listing." One of those species is the Black Rail, a sought after rarity found in a number of wetlands along the Arkansas River here in southeast Colorado.
Per this USFWS news release, " However, some like . . . the black rail historically ranged over much larger areas and have seen their habitat and numbers significantly reduced." The USFWS is accepting comments on any/all of the species covered with more info on their news release<http://www.fws.gov/midwest/News/release.cfm?rid=459> SeEtta Moss Canon City Personal blog @ http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com<http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/> Blogging for *Birds and Blooms* magazine @ Birds and Blooms blog southcentral/ <http://birdsandbloomsblog.com/category/southcentral/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
