Evidence of amphibians and reptiles <br />Amphibians use water bodies for breedin�, maturation, and over wintering_ These <br />organisms are extremely dependent on �ood water quality and their populations can be <br />severely affected by toxins. Regtiles such as turtles rely on both a q�ality wetland for <br />food foraging and hibernation and upland areas for laying eggs. Snakes will often bc <br />found in areas adjacent to wetlands that support arnphibian life forms. <br />High: Number of individuals (3 or more) <br />Medium: (1-2) <br />Low: (0-1) <br />Evidence af Birds <br />Many types of �irds can be found within and adjacent to wetlands. The reason for this is <br />because of the abundance of food available and the nesting cover provided by wetland <br />plants. A good diversity of bird species is supported by a diverse array of food and cover <br />found and provides for better recreational bird watchin� opportunities. <br />High: Nurnber of species (3 or more). <br />Medium: (2-3} <br />Low: (0-1) <br />Evidence of non-domestic rrzammals <br />Mamrnals, especially larger ones, need ample adjacent upland areas to search for food <br />and raise their young. Aquatic systerns that do not have naa�nmalian life forms using <br />them may have little to offer for food or covcr or they rnay be isolated from other <br />supportive systems. <br />Hi.gh: Number of species (3 or more). <br />Medium: ('�-3) <br />Low: (0-1) <br />Ciry of Roseville � 154 <br />P�crks NaturaI Reso�rrce Nlaiaagen:erat <br />
