Washington State's Sensitive Species List

I love the irony involved in a sensitive species with a name that starts with "common." But the common loon isn't endangered, thankfully. It's still somewhat common. In fact I've often seen them at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge.

The state of Washington lists sensitive, threatened, and endangered species. Here are the animals on the first of those three lists.

FISH:
Olympic Mudminnow
Pygmy Whitefish
Margined Sculpin

AMPHIBIAN:
Larch Mountain Salamander

BIRDS:
Common Loon
Peregrine Falcon
American Peregrine Falcon
Arctic Peregrine Falcon
Peale's Peregrine Falcon

MAMMALS:
Gray Whale

The scientific names for these species are listed on the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife page: http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/diversty/soc/endanger.htm?sort_a=AnimalType&StateStatus=SE&StateStatus!=none
