Description: These data represent near-shore fish habitat around Lake Tahoe CA/NV. Fish habitats were identified through a combination of IKONOS image classification results and field observations of fish-substrate relationships. The spatial extent of these data are constrained from the lake edge to a depth of <30m as defined by the USGS SHOALS dataset. Image classification was completed by Geovine Consulting under contract with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. Complete details of the image classification and data development process can be found in Metz and Herold 2004.

Description: Surveys conducted for nesting bald eagle are done throughout the summer by NDOW and CA State Parks, with some help by TRPA. This layer shows all nests that were active during the 2017 season. Both active and inactive bald eagle nests are protected under TRPA regulations. Only active nests that produce at least 1 fledgling are counted by TRPA as part of its' Threshold Standard for nesting bald eagles.
Description: Monthly boat and walk-in osprey nesting surveys are conducted monthly throughout the summer by the TRPA, LTBMU, NDOW, and CA State Parks. These layers show all nests that were active* and inactive during the 2017 season. Both active and inactive osprey nests are protected under TRPA regulations. Only active nests are counted by TRPA as part of its' Threshold Standard for nesting osprey.Nest_Id: Please refer to the map located in F:\Research and Analysis\Wildlife\Data\Osprey\osprey nest area codes_legend.pdfNest_Status: A=Active; NA=No Activity ObservedNest_Status_Category: Active (P=osprey perched at or near nest structure; NB= osprey observed building an incomplete nest; I=osprey incubating; B=osprey brooding; PD=prey delivery); No Activity Observed (NG = nest gone - either blown out of tree or tree fallen over; NI = nest initiated - no osprey observed but new nest established or old nest built up; ND = nest dilapidated - no osprey observed; NO = nest complete - no osprey observed; NS = nest occupied by other species)

Description: This is a shapefile showing occupied and emphasis habitat for willow flycatcher in the LTBMU. The emphasis habitat was derived by finding the areas where there was deciduous riparian veg adjacent to wet meadows larger than 14.9 acres. I used the LTBMU Riparian Vegetation layer for both of these because this layer is more accurate than CWHR. I also added the areas determined to be good habitat from the wifl hab assessment conducted in 2015. These areas were ground truthed to be good habitat, but most of them have not been surveyed. I further clipped all of these areas to within 5 miles of known detections and then clipped out non-FS lands. Even though this layer does not strictly adhere to the regional definition of emphasis habitat, I feel that it is more accurate, and therefore meets the intent.
