Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds <br /> are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the <br /> locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. <br /> To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area,view the Probability of <br /> Presence Summary.Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity <br /> you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. <br /> What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified <br /> 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. <br /> It 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 Rapid Avian Information Locator(RAIL)Tool. <br /> What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially <br /> occurring in my specified location? <br /> The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by <br /> the Avian Knowledge Network(AKN).This data is derived from a growing collection of survey. banding, and <br /> citizen science datasets. <br /> Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes <br /> available.To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret <br /> them,go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. <br /> How do I know if a bird is breeding,wintering or migrating in my area? <br /> https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/LNE5CWJ4CVF7TO2167UH5XMZZ4/resources 9/12 <br />
