Complete List of Amphibian, Reptile, Bird and Mammal Species in California

California Department of Fish and Game March, 2006

This list represents all of the native or introduced amphibian, reptile, bird and mammal species known in California. Introduced species are marked with “I”, harvest species with “HA”, vagrant species or species with extremely limited distributions with *, andone extirpated species with "E". The term “introduced”, as used here, represents both accidental and intentional introductions. Subspecies are not included on this list. The most current list of species and subspecies with special management status is available from the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) Taxonomy and nomenclature used within the list are the same as those used within both the CNDDB and California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) software programs and data sets. ________________________________________________________________________

Notes: Amphibians and Reptiles There are a number of formal lists of amphibians and reptiles that can be used to standardize the nomenclature of these species. Most are referenced on the Center for North American Herpetology website: http://www.cnah.org. However, not all of the conventions for vernacular names are accepted by herpetologists in the western United States. In such cases, we have adopted the common names used in Stebbins (2003). The phylogenetic sequence is also that of the Stebbins (2003) publication. Both Jennings (2004) and Stebbins (2003) were used as sources for species found in California. Birds We based the organization and nomenclature on the work of the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) Committee on Classification and Nomenclature (AOU 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003a, 2003b, 2005). A list of birds found in California is provided by the California Bird Records Committee (CBRC): http://wfo-cbrc.org/cbrc/ . Our list differs slightly from CBRC because we include species introduced to California that may or may not have stable populations (Garrett 1997, Jurek 2002). (1) Listed in the Fish and Game Code for California and in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as jacksnipe or common snipe. (2) Listed as Gilded Northern Flicker in Section 670.5 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. (3) Cardinals are native to California only marginally in the Colorado River Valley. Other populations are of introduced subspecies. Mammals We used Williams (2001) as a basis for the occurrence of mammal species in California. With few exceptions, nomenclatural conventions used were from Baker et al. (2003). As this list is ordered alphabetically, we used Jones (1982) as a reference for taxonomic sequence. This is the order used within the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) database program. (4) Riparian brush rabbit (subspecies riparius) is state and federally-endangered and may not be legally harvested. (5) Referenced in Fish and Game Code Section 4152 as Red Fox Squirrel. (6) Some populations were introduced into the Sierra Nevada and Southern California from stock taken from Oregon and Washington. (7) Some populations in California were introduced. (8) Red foxes native to California are of the subspecies V. v. necator. Populations of

individuals from subspecies not native to California have been introduced. We know of at least a few subspecies of eastern red foxes and fur stock released into California, but we do not have records of every kind. Hybridization is occurring in the wild among subspecies now as well. (9) Elk native to California are Roosevelt (C. e. roosevelti) and tule (C. e. nannodes) elk. Rocky Mountain elk (C. e. nelsoni) have been introduced to California. (10) O. c. nelsoni is fully protected except in areas where it is legally hunted.
