Waypoints were taken at the axial center of the colony using a Garmin Map76 hand-held GPS unit. One exception was the colony BSW-4 which was long enough to take points at the up- and downstream ends of the colony (noted as BSW-4a and BSW-4b). The GPS unit was pre-set to decimal degrees in UTM Zone 10 NAD 83. The resulting waypoints were imported into ArcView 3.1 and plotted onto digitally ortho-rectified aerial photographs. This shapefile was created to assess the amount of current and recently-occupied nesting habitat for the special status species of bank swallow (California Threatened) along the Feather River that may be affected by the operations of the Oroville Facilities.

Esri Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Shape Feature geometry. Esri Coordinates defining the features. Year Year the survey was conducted. Name The waypoint/field designation for each individual colony assigned during the field survey. Both active and inactive colonies were given this designation. Status This field designates whether the colony had any occupied nest burrows or had any indications of recent nesting activity (Active) or appeared to be unoccupied in that current season (Inactive). ZBurrows The average burrow count. (Used CDFW protocols where two observers tallied all burrows observed at the colony and then compared counts. If counts were within 10% of each other than the counts were averaged together to obtain this estimate.) LowestBurr Approximation, to the half foot, of the height of the lowest burrow from the river water surface elevation. Value shown is feet above the water. Remarks Any additional field notes or comments which may have been relevant to the colony or surrounding landscape. River_Mile This is recorded for the center of the colony, rounded to the nearest tenth and can be determined from the GIS or paper maps. River miles are general locations that are taken from the United States Army Corp of Engineers Aerial Atlas. The river mile will allow quick reference with colonies mapped in the past and are considered the unique colony identifier. River_Bank Left or right bank. River right is the bank on the right when moving or looking down stream. Latitude The latitude coordinate of each point that was imported from the GPS unit. Longitude The longitude coordinate of each point that was imported from the GPS unit. 20160419 California Department of Water Resources Thomas L.
