and for scientific, educational, and other valid purposes and acknowledging
damage that can be done by large populations of certain bird species, the
Department of Interior by regulation and permit, has provided for controlled
take and other use of certain species, in specific areas at specified
times. If you have questions regarding Migratory Bird
