Foraging Sample Clauses

Foraging. Only Farmers may forage wild produce not protected by Law from property they own or lease.

Foraging. TKR primarily eat seeds from forbs and grasses, but may also eat plant parts such as leaves, flowers, or fruit when they are new and tender; cultivated oat, Johnsongrass, xxxxx’x xxxx, broomweed, and bladderpod seeds were considered preferred by one study. Seeds and plant materials are transported inside TKR’s cheek pouches from foraging areas to xxxxxxx via movement corridors. Shortgrass species (buffalograss, blue grama, etc.) and forbs provide screening cover to aid them in retreating to their xxxxxx system to avoid nocturnal predators such as rattlesnakes and owls; any nocturnal predator, such as coyotes, foxes, feral dogs or cats, bobcats, or snakes, may predate on TKR. TKR foraging habitat should be dominated by seed- producing forbs (weeds) with adequate bare ground to facilitate TKR movement throughout the area, but still contain adequate screening cover in the form of short grasses; too much shrub cover (>15%) may increase their risk of predation. Within the TKR range, good quail brood-rearing habitat is probably also good TKR and Texas horned lizard habitat.

Foraging. Feeding flights have been observed in both females and males over xxxxxxx, old fields, and narrow roads (Xxxx and Xxxxxxx 1994). The crepuscular feeding swarms discussed above also seem to be a major feeding behavior (Xxxx and Xxxxxxx 1994, Xxxxxx 2003). Adults feed on small dipterans and other small insects. Vertical “walls” formed by the edge of two distinctly different heights of vegetation and any roads or trails through the wetland vegetation seem to be favored for foraging (USFWS 2001).

Foraging. Only Farmers may forage wild produce not protected by Law from property they own or lease. As per the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, wild foraged mushrooms can only be sold by a certified mushroom identification expert.
