Marin County's Northern Spotted Owl Endangered
The USFWS sadly downgrades the Federally Protected Northern Spotted Owl to Endangered. Populations have dropped by 77% in Washington, 68% in Oregon and 50% in California. "We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). After a thorough review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that reclassification of the northern spotted owl from a threatened species to an endangered species is warranted....."

Good News for Foothill Yellow Legged Frogs in Marin
In late 2019, the California Department of Fish & Wildlife, published its staff review of the species and recommended that the Foothill Yellow Legged Frog in Marin County be listed as a "Species of Special Concern", Not threatened or endangered, This most recent classification by the California Fish and Game Commission became official in 2020. This listing recommendation applies conservation where it is most needed and avoids placing onerous restrictions in areas where they are not currently necessary. The FYLF in the the North Coast/ Northwest Clade in Marin County, have been, "...determined not to be under any threat of extinction or endangerment in the near future". Yay!!!
