ANIMALS
Fish
Tidewater goby Eucyclogobius newberryi
FE/-- Shallow lagoons and lower stream reaches.
Low. Although species is documented from Corte Madera Creek, records are historical. Currently thought to be extirpated from San Francisco Bay.
Steelhead-central California coast DPS Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus Critical Habitat designated
FT/-- Spawns and rears in coastal streams between the Russian River and Aptos Creek, as well as drainages of the SF and San Pablo Bays, where gravelly substrate and shaded riparian habitat occurs.

FE/CE Accessible Bay Area and coastal rivers and streams with cover, cool water and sufficient dissolved oxygen. Require beds of loose, silt-free gravel for spawning.
Low. Although within the historical range of the species and Corte Madera Creek is designated as critical habitat for the species, coho salmon are currently considered extirpated in the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento – San Joaquin River system. Fish last seen in Corte Madera Creek in 1986 thought to be descendants of planted stock (Leidy, 2005).
Birds

--/3503.5 Commonly nests in riparian corridors but becoming increasingly common in urban areas throughout the Bay Area, nesting in large trees. Forages over open grasslands and woodlands.
Low to moderate. Suitable nesting habitat occurs in large conifers and eucalyptus on and adjacent to the project site. However, regular high levels of disturbance due to human activities may preclude nesting. One large stick nest observed in trees on the hospital grounds (Zander Associates, 2010).
Northern harrier Circus cyaneus

Subject: Species List for Marin General Hospital Expansion Project
Dear: Ms. Lowe
We are sending this official species list in response to your June 19, 2012 request for information about endangered and threatened species. The list covers the California counties and/or U.S. Geological Survey 7½ minute quad or quads you requested.
Our database was developed primarily to assist Federal agencies that are consulting with us. Therefore, our lists include all of the sensitive species that have been found in a certain area and also ones that may be affected by projects in the area. For example, a fish may be on the list for
a quad if it lives somewhere downstream from that quad. Birds are included even if they only migrate through an area. In other words, we include all of the species we want people to consider
when they do something that affects the environment.
Please read Important Information About Your Species List (below). It explains how we made the list and describes your responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act.
Our database is constantly updated as species are proposed, listed and delisted. If you address
proposed and candidate species in your planning, this should not be a problem. However, we recommend that you get an updated list every 90 days. That would be September 17, 2012.
Please contact us if your project may affect endangered or threatened species or if you have any
questions about the attached list or your responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act. A list of Endangered Species Program contacts can be found here.
