Summary

This project constitutes an inventory of parks in the San Joaquin Valley documenting the presence and distribution of rare and listed vertebrate species. The information was presented along with historic data from past surveys in assorted parks to help assess the role of State Parks in providing quality habitat for rare and listed vertebrate species in the San Joaquin Valley.

Description

This dataset includes Swainson's hawk observations in seven San Joaquin Valley State Park units, including Caswell Memorial State Park (CMSP), McConnell State Recreation Area (MSRA), George J. Hatfield State Recreation Area (GJHSRA), Great Valley Grassland State Park (GVGSP), San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area (SLRSRA), the Los Baos Creek unit of SLRSRA (LBC), and Tule Elk State Reserve (TESR). Turlock Lake State Recreation Area (TLSRA) and Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park (CASHP) were also surveyed with no confirmed breeding of Swainson's hawks. See metadata for SJV_Parks_SWHA_Line.shp and SJV_Parks_SWHA_Polygon.shp for surveys that are not shown in GIS format. Surveys were conducted by contracted biologists from the University of California, Davis Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology in 2006 and 2007 and by CDPR staff. Standard methodology (SWHA TAC 2000) was used. This survey effort was part of a larger project administered by California State Parks and funded by Bureau of Reclamation that included nine State Park units in the San Joaquin Valley.
