MARQUEZ, Senior District Judge.
A. Crossmotions for Summary Judgment

Plaintiffs argue that the FWS’s Final Biological Opinion (Final BO) — concluding that the Army’s continued activities at Fort Hua-chuca, Arizona, will not cause jeopardy to the Huachuca water umbel (a plant) or the Southwestern willow flycatcher (a bird), or adversely modify critical habitat — is arbitrary, and contrary to law.
