The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. probability of presence breeding season I survey effort —no data SPECIES JAB• DER ^A ^per ,IAA' ?_1N1 AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC Bald Eagle Non-BCC Vulnerable Lark Bunting BCC-BCR Additional information can be found using the following links: • Birds of Conservation Concern hqp://www.fws.govibirds/mana2ement/managed-species/ birds-of-conservation-concern.12 • Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds hqp://www.fws.izovibirds/ mana eg ment/project-assessment-tools-and-guidance/ c onservation-measures.phn • Nationwide conservation measures for birds hqp://www.fws.gov/mi rg atoiybirds/pdf/ management/nationwidestandardconservationmeasures.pdf Migratory Birds FAQ Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds. Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
