Part 3 - Line 4a
RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT - WORKING WITH PARTICIPATING LANDOWNERS THAT MAKE UP THE MORE THAN 37,000 ACRE NATURE RESERVE OF ORANGE COUNTY (NROC), THE NATURAL COMMUNITIES COALITION (NCC) COORDINATED THE RESTORATION OF THE COASTAL SAGE SCRUB (CSS) HABITAT WITHIN THE RESERVE. THIS BENEFITS THE COASTAL CACTUS WREN, CALIFORNIA GNATCATCHER AND ORANGE-THROATED WHIPTAIL LIZARD, EACH IDENTIFIED IN THE NATURAL COMMUNITY CONSERVATION PLAN (NCCP) AND HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN (HCP) FOR THE CENTRAL AND COASTAL SUBREGION OF ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. NROC AND THE HABITAT RESTORATION EFFORTS WITHIN BENEFIT AN ADDITIONAL 31 IDENTIFIED SPECIES WHOSE LONG-TERM SURVIVAL IS DEPENDENT UPON HEALTHY AND CONNECTED LANDSCAPES. IN 2021 NCC COMPLETED AND RECEIVED DONOR SIGN-OFF FOR ITS MULTI-YEAR POND CREATION AND UPLAND HABITAT RESTORATION TO BENEFIT WESTERN SPADEFOOT TOADS IN THE COASTAL PORTION OF NROC.
MONITORING COORDINATING - THE ANNUAL MONITORING OF SPECIES AND NATURAL COMMUNITIES OF THE RESERVE IS THE WAY NCC MEASURES THE SUCCESS OF LAND MANAGEMENT ACTIONS AND IMPACTS OF PUBLIC RECREATION, AND HOW IT TRACKS THE ECOLOGICAL HEALTH OF THE SPECIES FOR WHICH NROC WAS ESTABLISHED. IN ADDITION TO ONGOING ECOLOGICAL MONITORING EFFORTS, NCC ASSEMBLED ITS PARTNERS AND OTHER SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS TO DRAFT A COMPREHENSIVE ECOLOGICAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT OF NROC.
COWBIRD TRAPPING - NCC CONTINUED ITS ANNUAL OBLIGATION TO TRAP BROWNHEADED COWBIRDS TO MANAGE THEIR IMPACTS ON PROTECTED BIRD SPECIES. COWBIRDS ARE BROOD PARASITES. FEMALE COWBIRDS LAY THEIR EGGS IN THE NEST OF OTHER NATIVE BIRDS. THE NESTOWNING SPECIES THEN UNKNOWINGLY RAISE THE COWBIRD CHICK TO MATURITY OFTEN TO THE DETRIMENT OF ITS OWN CLUTCH. IN AREAS WHERE THE COWBIRD POPULATIONS ARE HIGH, TRAPS ARE USED TO LOWER THEIR NUMBERS AND INCREASE REPRODUCTIVE AND FLEDGLING SUCCESS OF BIRD SPECIES PARASITIZED BY COWBIRDS. A TOTAL OF NEARLY TWO DOZEN COWBIRD TRAPS WERE DEPLOYED FOR A TOTAL OF MORE THAN 2,400 TRAPDAYS IN AREAS OF THE RESERVE WHERE COWBIRD IMPACTS ON PROTECTED SONGBIRDS ARE POTENTIALLY HIGH.
