INTRODUCTION
It is impossible to consider the needs of all forms of nongame wildlife concurrently, since actions which affect one species adversely will often benefit another. For this reason it has been necessary to select those species which are most in need of consideration, and at the same time relegate the needs of widespread, abundant and secure species to a lower priority. :
These forms of nongame wildlife have thus been designated as being
of
‘special interest or concern."' The following discussions, by taxa, pertain only to species listed as "special interest or concern." The lists, and the county inventories, are subject to modification as new
information comes to light.
MAMMALS Twenty-nine species of mammals have been identified as being of special interest or concern. Distribution of each species has been
mapped, based primarily on information provided by Hoffman, Wright and
Newby (1969), Hoffman and Pattie (1968), Hoffman, Pattie and Bell (1969),
Burt and Grossenheider (1964), and Lampe, et al. (1974). A Montana base
map with a scale of 1 inch = 36 miles was used. County inventories of these species were then taken from the maps, providing an instant reference to those species of special interest or concern on a county- by-county basis. Species are listed on county inventories if:
1. they are known to occur in that county,
2. they are suspected of occurring in that county, or
3. that county lies within the former range of the species
in question.
INSECTIVORA: Four species are considered:
Sores merrtamt Sorex nanus
Sores preblet Mierosorex hoyt
Merriam's shrew Dwarf shrew Preble's shrew Pigmy shrew
All species are very rare, with only S. preblet enjoying a wide distribution within the state. The other three species have a rather restricted distribution. New distributional records of S. “anus have
been provided by Thompson (1977) and of S. merriamt, S. preble
° o 2 i
M. hoyt by Flath (unpub. data).
Although never recorded for Montana, the Arctic shrew (Sorex arcticus ) and the Short-tailed shrew (Blarina brevicauda) could possibly occur in
the northeastern portion of the state.
Six species are considered:
Keen's bat iyotts keentt California bat Myotte caltfornteus Long-legged bat Livotte volans Fringed bat Myotis thysanodes Spotted bat Exderma maculatwn Big-eared bat Plecotus townsendtt
M. caltfornicus has only been recorded from extreme western Montana (Hoffman, Pattie and Bell 1969). However, its taxonomic position as indicated by Findley (1972), its use of habitat types, and its sympatricity with the Least bat (M. letbizd) (Bogan 1975) all indicate that this species could be more widespread in Montana.
The Spotted bat (Zudermamazulatu.,; has only been recorded once for Montana (Nicholson 1950). A review of the habitat requirements of Euderza by Snow (1974) and Barbour and Davis (1969) indicate that suitable habitat for this species is present in Montana just south of the only collection site (Billings). A survey of the bat fauna in the Pryors has never been made, yet this is the area most likely to harbor Euderma.
Both Hall and Kelson (1959) and Barbour and Davis (1969) have indicated that Keen's bat (Myotis keenit) occurs along the eastern boundary of Montana.
Hoffman, Pattie and Bell (1969) state that there are no records of
this
species from Montana. Recently, Swenson (unpub. data) has docum occurrence of Keen's bat at two sites in eastern Montana.
There is also a slight possibility that the Red bat (Lasiurus borealis) may be found in eastern Montana, and the Pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) in southwestern Montana (Hoffman and Pattie 1968). Neither species has
been recorded for the state as yet.
LAGOMORPHA: Two species are considered:
Black-tailed jackrabbit Pigmy rabbit

Both L. caltfornieus and S. tdanoensis are Gr
at Basin species and
e occur only in Beaverhead County and portions of Madison County.

Nine species are considered:
Harmota eatigata Spermophilus armatus Cynomys Ludovictianus Cynomys leucurus Zutamias wnbrinus
Hoary marmot
Uinta ground squirrel Black-tailed prairie dog White-tailed prairie dog Uinta chipmunk
Great Basin pocket mouse Perognathus parvus Hispid pocket mouse Ferognatnus nispidus
Northern bog lemming Meadow jumping mouse
Synaptomys borealis Zapus hudsonius
Foster (pers. comm.) has mentioned that one speciman of Zapus hudsonius
taken on Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge in 1974. The presence of this
ecies in northcentral Montana needs to be verified.
IVORA: Seven species are considered:
Black-footed ferret Mustela nigripes
Least weasel Mustela nivalis (= rtxosa) Wolverine Gulo guio (= luscus) Spotted skunk Spilogale gracilis
Swift fox Vulpus velox
Wolf Cants lupus
Lynx Lynz canadensts
. gracilis are currently classified as
R.C.M. 1947. Both species are included here
rh
their extreme scarcity in Montana. M. nivalts is a very small
el native to arctic tundra and the taiga. S$. gracilis has been reported from southwestern Montana and Carbon County.
Guio has been the subject of the only management regulation promulgated
under authority of the "Nongame and Endangered Species Conservation Act."
Newby an
Expansion of the wolverine's range in Montana has been documented by
Wright (1955) and Newby and McDougal (1964). tudies on the
ecology of the wolverine in northwestern Montana have been conducted by
Maur
ice Hornocker and Howard Hash of the Idaho Cooperative Wildlife
Research Unit.
(Hof
Vulpes velox has generally been regarded as extinct in Montana
fman, Wright and Newby, 1969). McDaniel (unpub. data), however, has
demonstrated an increase in this species in Nebraska and South Dakota.
Furt agal
the
Ps
hermore, records of Bowdoin NWR mention two observations in 1969, and
n on 31 October 1970 (lloover, pers. comm.). <A report of "a tox about
1974
size of a ecat," seen in Nove ror December, in Gyp Cre
south of the Pryors, Carbon County, Montana has been received. It is
doubtful that red fox pups would be "housecat"' size in November.
ARTIODACTYLA: One species considered:
Caribou Rangtfer tarandus
Although currently classified as a game species, the caribou is considered here because of its precarious situation in Montana. The last documented sighting of caribou in Montana occurred in 1971, but
several unverified reports have been received since then.
BIRDS Thirty-nine species of birds have been tentatively identified as being of "special interest or concern." Many of these species are listed
only because they are peripheral species in Montana. Additions or
deletions of bird species may occur as more evidence of bird status
comes to light.
Thus, through the process of elimination, nongame bird species
which are in need of management measures will be identified.
Distribution and inventory data for birds is based primarily oa
Skaar (1975), although many individuals throughout the state have
provided input.
FALCONIFORMES: Twelve species are
Goshawk Sharp-shinned hawk Cooper's hawk Ferruginous hawk Golden eagle
Bald eagle

either rare or endangered. Of those, 8 are nongame, and 7 are considered
here, along with one other rare species:
Lepisosteus platostomus Hybopsis gracilis Phowinus neogaeus Cyeleptus elongatus Percopsis omtscomaycus Cottus confusus
Cottus rticet
Semotilus atromaculatus
Shortnose gar Sturgeon chub Finescale dace Blue sucker Trout-perch Shorthead sculpin Spoonhead sculpin Creek chub
None of these species are listed in "Threatened Wildlife of the United States" (1973). All of these species are peripheral (Brown 1971). kK *
The county inventories that follow are, in essence, a "shopping list." Not all species listed for a particular county will necessarily be found in that county. Similarly, occurrence of some species in some counties May not yet have been detected.
These species are to be looked for in those counties where they are listed, and if found, efforts should be made to maintain or enhance the
integrity of the habitats they are dependent upon.
