29 <br /> honeysuckle. The southern portion of the study area includes the EWS farm. Non-crop <br /> herbaceous species observed in the field area include Bermuda grass, daffodil,hairy bittercress, <br /> tall fescue, white clover, and wild garlic. <br /> Faunal species expected to occur in the community are similar to the Dry Mesic Oak Hickory <br /> Forest which include white tailed deer*, raccoon, grey fox, and the eastern gray squirrel. Bird <br /> species typical for this community type include Carolina chickadee*, yellow-rumped warbler*, <br /> northern cardinal, Eastern bluebird, house finch, American goldfinch, tufted titmouse*,Northern <br /> mockingbird, Carolina wren*, and American robin*. Predator and scavenger birds typically <br /> include the red-tailed hawks*, American kestrel, turkey vulture, and black vulture. American <br /> toad, Fowlers toad, redback salamander, red-spotted newt, eastern box turtle, eastern fence <br /> lizard, eastern garter snake,racer,rat snake, ringneck snake, and worm snake are also expected <br /> to occur in the community. <br /> 4.2. Rare Species <br /> Catena searched for Orange County listed protected species and/or habitat in the study area <br /> (Appendix A). No protected species or habitat was observed within the project area. <br /> 4.3. Significant Trees <br /> Across the EWS campus a few exceptionally large trees were noted (Figure 2). The Dry-Mesic <br /> Oak-Hickory Forest community contained a very large White oak and Post Oak. The Piedmont <br /> Semipermanent Impoundment community contained multiple very large loblolly pines. <br /> 5.0 CONCLUSION <br /> Disturbed communities (Mixed Pine Forest and Maintained/Disturbed) comprised the majority of <br /> the property (approximately 52.4% of the property). The remaining 47.6% is comprised of <br /> natural communities (Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest-Piedmont Subtype, Piedmont Headwater <br /> Stream Forest-Typic Subtype, and Piedmont Semipermanent Impoundment-Shrub Subtype). <br /> Plants and animals observed on this property are consistent with local communities. No <br /> protected species were observed within the property during the field investigation. <br /> 6.0 STANDARD OF CARE <br /> The environmental services performed by Catena have been conducted with that degree of care <br /> and skill ordinarily exercised under similar circumstances by reputable members of its industry <br /> practicing in the same locality under similar budget and time constraints. No other warranty, <br /> expressed or implied is made. <br /> EWS Biological Inventory March 2015 <br /> Catena Job#6210 Page 6 <br />
