What does IPaC use to generate the potential presence of bald and golden eagles in my specied <br />location? <br />The potential for eagle presence is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The <br />AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried <br />and ltered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project <br />intersects, and that have been identied as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in <br />that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply). To see a list of all birds potentially present in your <br />project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool. <br />What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs of bald and golden eagles in my <br />specied 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 ltered 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 identied 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 oshore 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 if I have eagles on my list? <br />If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating <br />the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Please contact your local Fish and Wildlife Service Field Oce if <br />you have questions. <br />Migratory birds <br />Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden <br />Eagle Protection Act . <br />Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to <br />migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and <br />consider implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below. <br />1. 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 />1 <br />2 <br />3
