23 <br /> <br />tarplant, and it was not observed. However, as a targeted botanical survey was not conducted, the <br />presence of this species on the Property cannot be ruled out. <br />6.4 Wildlife Survey Results <br />6.4.1 General Wildlife Species and Habitats <br />A complete list of wildlife species observed within the Property can be found in Attachment 2, <br />Table 1. Wildlife species commonly occurring within habitat types present on the Property, and <br />special-status wildlife that may occur within the habitat types are discussed below: <br />Developed <br />Due to the intensive human activity in these areas, there is little habitat value for wildlife. <br />Wildlife observed within the developed areas includes common urban species such as a feral cat <br />(Felis catus), western scrub jay (Aphelocoma californica), and American crow (Corvus <br />brachyhynochos). There is the potential for pollinating species, including the Crotch and Western <br />bumble bees (Bombus crotchii and B. occidentalis), to forage within the landscaped yards <br />surrounding the residential houses. <br />Ephemeral Drainage <br />Due to the limited hydroperiod of the ephemeral drainages, they likely do not provide specific <br />habitat for any aquatic species. However, general wildlife species that utilizes the surrounding <br />habitat types, such as non-native annual grassland, may also occur within these ephemeral <br />drainages. <br />Intermittent Drainage <br />The intermittent drainage feature offers suitable breeding, foraging, and dispersal habitat for <br />various common amphibian species such as the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla) and bull <br />frog (Lithobates catesbeianus). Protocol level CRLF surveys were conducted throughout this <br />feature, and the results were negative. There are no other special-status species that may utilize <br />the intermittent drainage feature. <br />Non-native Annual Grassland <br />The annual grassland habitat provides many foraging opportunities for a wide range of species. <br />Passerine species observed during the survey include California towhee (Melozone crissalis), <br />black phoebe (Sayornis nigricans), barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) and white-crowned sparrow
