Table 2 provides the transect name, <br />species, number, and activity when detected. <br />DAU01: Daughenbaugh transect 01 (DAU01) runs from east to west and is located on the <br />south side of the Open Space. Because of the diversity of plants and structural height most <br />of the detections occurred on the east end of the transect. Prior to the start of the survey a <br />male Blue Grosbeak (Passerina caerulea) was observed foraging on one of last year's <br />common mullein seed heads. Seven species (the second highest species count for the three <br />Open Space properties surveyed) were detected: the dominant species detected was the Cliff <br />Swallow as it foraged near the Goodhue Ditch. <br />DAU02: Daughenbaugh transect 02 (DAU02) runs from the southwest to the northeast and <br />is located on the north end of the Open Space. Because the habitat along the transect is <br />limited by the active prairie dog colony the dominant plant species is field bindweed. Little <br />suitable nesting habitat is found along the transect. At the northwest end the prairie dogs <br />are not as active and there is more diversity, and more avian activity. Of the four species <br />detected, the Vesper Sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus) was the dominant species detected with all <br />detections occurring near the northwest end of the transect. Other Vesper Sparrows could <br />be heard on the private property to the east. <br />Table 2.
