Bowers Field WildlifeHazard 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 freezingtemperatures causing open water to ice <br />over. Frozen ponds, creeks, ditches, etc. are not considered an attractive habitat for <br />wildlife. <br />Figure 6.
