The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918. <br />2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940. <br />Additional information can be found using the following links: <br />• Birds of Conservation Concern http://www.fws.gov/birds/management/managed-species/ <br />birds-of-conservation-concern.php <br />• Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds http://www.fws.gov/birds <br />/management/proiect-assessment-tools-and-guidance/ <br />conservation-measures.php <br />• Nationwide conservation measures for birds http://www.fws.gov/mgratorybirds <br />/pdf/management/nationwidestandardconservationmeasures pddf <br />THERE ARE NO MIGRATORY BIRDS OF CONSERVATION CONCERN EXPECTED TO OCCUR AT THIS LOCATION. <br />Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory <br />birds. <br />Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all <br />birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are <br />most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of <br />any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when <br />birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence <br />Summary. Additional measures and/orep rmits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are <br />conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. <br />What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? <br />The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other <br />species that may warrant special attention in your project location. <br />The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge <br />Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding and citizen science <br />datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid <br />cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because <br />they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a <br />particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. <br />Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It <br />is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially <br />present in your project area, please visit the E -bird Explore Data Tool. <br />6 of 9 8/29/2018, 9:48 AM <br />
