Migratory Birds Sample Clauses

Migratory Birds. Be advised, migratory non-game native bird species are protected by international treaty under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (50 C.F.R. § 10.13). Sections 3503, 3503.5 and 3513 of the California FGC that prohibit take of all birds and their active nests including raptors and other migratory non-game birds (as listed under the Federal MBTA).

Migratory Birds. 15.14.1 The Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime shall apply to migratory birds.

Migratory Birds. ‌ The U.S. Department of Interior—USFWS oversees compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The MBTA regulates the taking, selling, transporting, and importing of migratory birds, their nests, eggs, parts, or products. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act prohibits the “taking” (or disturbing) of bald or golden eagles, including their parts, nests, or eggs, without a permit from the Secretary of the Interior. The planning area is located in the Central Flyway of North America. Migratory birds use portions of the planning area as resting grounds during spring and fall migration, as well as breeding and nesting grounds throughout the summer.

Migratory Birds. ‌ No-Action Alternative – The city of Amenia and its vicinity, is located in the Central Flyway of North America. Migratory birds use portions of the area as resting grounds during spring and fall migration, as well as breeding and nesting grounds throughout the summer. Under the No-Action Alternative, impacts to migratory birds would not change from present conditions. Existing flooding conditions would continue across the landscape during 100-year flood events, as shown in Appendix C Map C-7. Some migratory bird species may be temporarily displaced from their habitats during flood events. Levee Alternative 1 – Direct and indirect adverse impacts to migratory birds could occur under Levee Alternative 1. Removal of trees for construction of the levee system could directly alter habitat for some migratory birds. Direct impacts to migratory birds could also occur if nests are damaged or destroyed during construction. These impacts could be mitigated by constructing the levee system outside of the nesting season. During construction, temporary indirect impacts to migratory birds could occur from increased noise and human activity which could disrupt migratory birds, causing them to temporarily abandon habitat. Once construction is complete and the levee system is operational, the storage pond could provide additional habitat for some migratory birds in the vicinity of Levee Alternative 1, such as waterfowl, wading birds, and shorebirds. No negative direct or indirect impacts to migratory birds would be anticipated once the levee system is operational. A reduced risk of flooding in the Amenia area may benefit migratory birds residing in that area that prefer upland conditions. Levee Alternative 2 – Direct and indirect impacts to migratory birds could occur under Levee Alternative 2. Removal of trees for construction of the levee system could directly alter habitat for some migratory birds. Direct impacts to migratory birds could also occur if nests are damaged or destroyed during construction. These impacts could be mitigated by constructing the levee system outside of the nesting season. During construction, temporary indirect impacts to migratory birds could occur from increased noise and human activity which could disrupt migratory birds, causing them to temporarily abandon habitat. Once construction is complete and the levee system is operational, the storage pond could provide additional habitat for some migratory birds in the vicinity of Levee Alternativ...
