The first Management Plan was adopted in 2012 and a revision was completed in 2021. 2.0 BASIS OF NEED This proposal addresses Monitoring and Stewardship Action MS.6 from the 2021 Sky Mountain Park Management Plan, which includes routine resource monitoring for wildlife resources. Per the management plan, avian monitoring is to be completed approximately every 3 years and wildlife and raptor monitoring (TVES, camera grids, diurnal and nocturnal surveys) is to be completed approximately every 5 years. These surveys were last conducted in 2021. In addition, the Management Plan calls for qualitative monitoring of the wetland fen vegetation approximately every 5 years. This fen is located along the Rim Trail on the Upper North Mesa Parcel which has a floating organic soil (Histosol) at least 36 inches deep and is likely thousands of years old. While relatively small, the fen is a unique resource that should continue to be protected. 3.0 APPROACH TASK 1. WETLAND FEN VEGETATION MONITORING Monitoring of the wetland fen vegetation will be conducted by Rea Orthner. Qualitative observation of the dominance of different plant species as well as a plant inventory will be conducted. The information will be summarized in a concise memo along with recommendations for enhancement and further protection. TASK 2. GENERAL WILDLIFE SURVEYS -TVES General wildlife surveys will be conducted to determine wildlife species diversity and habitat use. The method for these surveys will be Terrestrial Visual Encounter Surveys (TVES). TVES are general wildlife surveys designed to detect a variety of terrestrial species, especially mammals (e.g., ungulates, lagomorphs), reptiles, and diurnal raptors as well as less common or difficult to detect landbirds. Sampling areas are contained within a 200 m radius hexagonal area occupying approximately 10 ha (i.e., “10 ha sampling hexagon”) centered on avian monitoring points (Fig. 1). Previously established TVES hexagons encompass representative areas of each major vegetation type of a given property. Given the size and configuration of Attachment A A-05 SMP Wildlife and Fen Monitoring Page 1 SMP, two 10 ha TVES sampling hexagons were established in 2011 by WER at SMP. TVES will be conducted twice on each property, once in spring and once in mid-summer (mid-June to mid-August). Two observers will search within each TVES hexagon. Observers follow a transect that loops through the hexagon at ~50 m spacing (Fig. 1). The length of each route on each half of the sample unit is approximately 1200 m, for a total of 2400 m. Observers use pre- established GPS tracks to follow the transect lines. Wildlife signs to be recorded included direct species observation, beds, pellets, nests, fur or feathers, burrows, dens, latrines, prey remains, vegetation browse, food caches, soil eskers, and markings on the ground or on tree bark. Data recorded on datasheets will include: date, time, general location, weather conditions, vegetation type, wildlife sign observed, specific location or GPS coordinates of sign, photographs of sign, and incidental wildlife species observed. TASK 3. GENERAL WILDLIFE SURVEYS -CAMERA SURVEYS Camera trap arrays, combined with the TVES, are effective methods to detect a large proportion of medium to large mammal species occurring in a given area or property. The sampling design for the camera arrays maximizes the probability of photographing an adequate sample of terrestrial mammals. The camera data will be used to augment and support the TVES rather than as a separate data source. It is intended to monitor changes in the community of ground-dwelling, terrestrial vertebrates, and not to monitor the abundance of individual species. This is an important distinction. As such, the sampling design represents a compromise between the level of effort required to detect species that range over large areas (>100 km2) such as elk and mountain lions and the effort required to detect species with smaller home ranges (~1 km2), such as terrestrial birds (e.g. wild turkey, dusky grouse) and smaller carnivores (e.g. long-tailed weasel, badger). Camera traps will be implemented at TVES monitoring points with the camera placed at the center of the 200 m radius sampling hexagon centered on the MSIM monitoring point. Each array includes five cameras: One camera station is located within 100 m from the centerpoint at a random bearing; a second camera is located 500 m at 0 degrees; and a third and fourth camera is located 500 m from the centerpoint at either 90 or 270 degrees and the fifth is placed at 500 m at 180 degrees. The exact location of the camera station is determined based on the nearest tree (or fence post) to which the camera and bait can be attached. Since the reliability of this method is greatest when target species are lured in, commercial trapping lures and bait (e.g., Cornish game hen) will be used to bait each station. If trees or other suitable substrates are not available within 20 m of the prescribed location, detection devices and bait may be mounted on t-posts installed at the appropriate location. Each survey is conducted over a 14-day period during the two TVES periods -- early spring and mid-summer with an additional survey period in the fall to sample during fall migration. TASK 4. DIURNAL RAPTOR SURVEYS Broadcast surveys will be conducted to determine use of the properties by diurnal birds of prey and locate any active nests that occur on or adjacent to each property. Transects of broadcast stations were established on SMP in 2011. Each transect consists of broadcast stations at 150 m intervals running through as many of each property’s major habitat types. In addition to the broadcast survey, visual nest searches will be conducted throughout forest and woodland habitat to determine whether any inactive nests or non- responsive nesting raptors occur on the property. Figure 1. TVES hexagonal sampling unit Attachment A A-05 SMP Wildlife and Fen Monitoring Page 1 At each station, the observer will broadcast alarm calls in four directions, at 45° angles to the transect. Each 10-sec broadcast in a specific direction will be followed by 30 sec of scanning and listening for responses. At each station, the observer will broadcast sharp-shinned hawk, Cooper’s hawk, and northern goshawk alarm calls (red-tailed hawks respond to the calls of all three accipiters), in that order, to avoid potential size- related inhibitory effects. If any raptor is detected, the observer will record the species, age, and sex, when possible; an assessment of the observer’s confidence in identifying the responding species (i.e., confident or not confident, as supported by a description of what was heard and/or seen); time of response; time elapsed since first call broadcast; species of call broadcasted immediately preceding the detection; response type (i.e., call, call and approach, call and flyby, silent approach, silent fly-by); estimated distance and bearing to response; station number and location; and general vegetation characteristics surrounding the detection point (i.e., maturity and stature of aspen forest). TASK 5. NOCTURNAL RAPTOR SURVEYS Nocturnal owl surveys will be conducted based on a protocol adapted from surveys conducted in western Montana since the mid 1980’s, adopted by Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (BCR) since 2007, and implemented on OST properties since 2014. Owl point-transects are the same as those established for the breeding bird surveys. Each route will be surveyed once per year at the time of year when vocal activity of the majority of species is greatest. Routes will be surveyed twice – once in April and once in June) in order to provide information on annual variation in the peak time of owl calling, and more accurately monitor all occurring owl species with peak calling at different times of the year (e.g., boreal owls are best detected in early April while flammulated owls are best detected in late May or June). Any other wildlife encountered will be recorded by species and location. Particular effort will be made to note the occurrence of any non- owl nocturnal birds such as nighthawks and common poorwill, amphibians, bats, and predators. 4.0 EXPECTED RESULTS, DELIVERABLES & COLLABORATION The deliverable for Task 1, the wetland fen vegetation monitoring will be a concise memo documenting our observations along with recommendations for enhancement and further protection. We will also include a plant species list. The memo will be completed the fall or winter following field work. TASK 6. WILDLIFE REPORT Deliverables for Tasks 2 through 5 will include amonitoring report describing the field work, results; interpretation of the results; GIS maps depicting survey locations, results, and current wildlife habitat; and discussion regarding implications for OST management of each property. In addition, past monitoring results for each property will be reviewed and important differences will be noted and discussed in the report. OST will be provided with GIS shapefiles; GPS data; species lists, and raw data collected. In addition, all data will be uploaded to the OST Data Portal. 5.0 TIMELINE Task 1. The wetland fen monitoring memo will be completed the fall or winter following field work. Tasks 2-6. Field work will occur as described within each task above. TVES/camera and nocturnal raptor surveys will begin in May 2026 and the diurnal raptor surveys will be conducted in early June. Camera monitoring will continue through the end of March 2027. The annual report will be completed by late spring 2027. 6.0 REFERENCES Attachment A A-05 SMP Wildlife and Fen Monitoring Page 1 Leukering, T., and R. Levad. 2000.
