available, especially information regarding the species’ life history, population status, and threats. Accordingly, the primary action currently described for the Tier III species is to gather more information regarding their status and any threats to them or their habitats. The lack of information itself was deemed of sufficient importance to constitute a threat. The full list of species in I, II, and III may be found in the Chapter 5, Table 5.1 of the Utah CWCS. The Utah Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy can be accessed by visiting: Utah Avian Conservation Strategy (Partners in Flight) Utah Partners in Flight (UPIF) was organized in 1993 for the purpose of addressing the status of populations within the state and to provide data relevant to issues raised concerning the status of neotropical migratory birds in the . Utah NRCS and conservation partners recognize attempts to reverse or at least curb declining population trends will require a coordinated and cooperative effort. Avian Conservation Strategy, completed in 2002, lists 24 priority bird ’s species and six priority habitats for conservation efforts. The Strategy also recommends appropriate conservation actions required to accomplish stated objectives. UPIF Priority Species The UPIF Rankings Committee employed these criteria in prioritizing Utah bird species: relative abundance; breeding distribution; winter distribution; threats in breeding range; other threats not related to breeding; importance of Utah to breeding range or habitat; and population trend data. Species are listed below in priority order: Lewis’s Woodpecker Long-billed Curlew Abert's Towhee Sharp-tailed Grouse American Avocet Brewer's Sparrow Mountain Plover Swift Lucy's Warbler Black-necked Stilt Sage-grouse (Greater and Gunnison) Broad-tailed Hummingbird American White Pelican Ferruginous Hawk Bobolink Yellow-billed Cuckoo 's Warbler Black-throated Gray Warbler Gray Vireo Three-toed Woodpecker 's Vireo Sage Sparrow Black Rosy-finch Gambel's Quail
