Bowers Field Wildlife Hazard Management Plan <br /> 2.1.1 Hazardous Guilds <br /> Hazardous wildlife were present during all site visits (Figure 6). There was a lower <br /> frequency of occurrence and fewer hazardous wildlife observed in November and <br /> January(surveys were not conducted in December, but we suspect the results would have <br /> been similar), most likely due to below freezing temperatures causing open water to ice <br /> over. Frozen ponds, creeks, ditches, etc. are not considered an attractive habitat for <br /> wildlife. <br /> OccurrenceAverage Abundance and Frequency of <br /> HazardousObserved <br /> Abundance*2.1.,290 blackbirds <br /> 46 <br /> 00 <br /> 30 <br /> 400 <br /> 20 00 <br /> • 15 Fe, 200co <br /> 10 <br /> 00 <br /> Oct <br /> Figure 6.
