CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION
NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF PETITION
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2073.3 of the
Fish and Game Code, the California Fish and Game Commission (Commission), on
October 8, 2014, received a petition from the Center for Biological Diversity to take
emergency action to list the Tricolored blackbird (Agelalus Tricolor) as endangered
under the California Endangered Species Act.
The Tricolored blackbird was historically distributed throughout most of the Central
Valley, adjacent foothills, coastal ranges and southern California. Habitat types required
by this species include riparian, marsh, and agricultural fields. Tricolored blackbirds are
medium-sized, nesting in dense colonies.
Pursuant to Section 2073 of the Fish and Game Code, the Commission has forwarded
the petition to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for its review and
recommendation. The Commission will consider taking emergency action to list the
Tricolored blackbird as an endangered species at its December 3, 2014, meeting in Van
Nuys.
Interested parties may contact Ms. Helen Birss, Habitat Conservation Planning Branch
Chief, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, 1416 Ninth Street, Suite 1260,
Sacramento, CA 95814, or telephone 916.653.9834, for information on the petition or to
submit information to the Department relating to the petitioned species.
