Amphibian and Reptile Search 



At least four hours was spent each month during April, June, and August 

 searching likely habitat in the project area for amphibians and reptiles. 



Small Mammal Trapping 



Two snap-trap lines (each consisting of 25 stations with two traps per 

 station) were run for three consecutive nights (August 11-14, 1980), one in 

 riparian cottonwoods at the head of Kootenai Falls, and the other in adjacent 

 riparian grassland. Capture data were recorded on standard data sheets. 



Census of Yaak Falls 



Water and shoreline habitats of Yaak Falls, including those areas within 

 100 m (328 ft) of the head of the falls (upstream and downstream), were 

 censused for vertebrates on October 10, 1979, and January 17, April 8, June 

 2, and August 12, 1980, to determine the area's suitability as a future 

 control study or compensation area.
