gnatcatcher

The gnatcatcher is the first animal for which he has drawn an actual rule.

The gnatcatcher was declared a threatened species in March 1993 after more than five years of extensive review.

The hope here at least is that there is room in the gnatcatcher case for the devil to get his due.

One of these is a vulnerable little bird called the California gnatcatcher, whose shaky hold on survival got the whole process started six years ago.

It is an important habitat plant for the endangered California Gnatcatcher.

"There have been negotiations for two years, and the gnatcatcher has not been protected.

"The listing of the gnatcatcher is the foundation upon which conservation efforts in Southern California have been based."

This vast nexus of planning has been set in motion by a tiny bird, the California gnatcatcher.

Many of its species, among them a bird called the California gnatcatcher, are approaching but have not yet reached federally endangered status.

This relatively plain gnatcatcher includes three subspecies, each sometimes considered a species:

In the gnatcatcher case, for example, a federal judge in Los Angeles has indicated his willingness to grant the government's request.

Among gnatcatcher species, this is in the only one to breed in Eastern North America.

That original field guide, covering eastern and central North America, has since helped many a novice separate the nuthatch from the gnatcatcher.

The instrument of this particular pact was a small songbird, the scrub-dwelling California gnatcatcher, a potential spoiler for the developers.

But backers of the gnatcatcher compromise used words like "innovative," "milestone" and "unprecedented."

Although public discussion has focused on the gnatcatcher, conservationists have used the bird's case as a means to larger end, the preservation of the broader landscape.
