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 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. 001) @&b&dtiesiFPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specs 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. %.f 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 gelEff&tbatedlurn a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, fidGhthwjilhravftibgEgp�A®itattention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act f queements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to o activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool k What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially ficidlaoatipM my speci The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen science datasets . Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/HLNZHTJZZJEK7KYWMYZNAQDRRU/resources 8/11
