Wyoming Ecological Services Field Office Raptor Guidelines (2022)

The Wyoming Ecological Services Field Office works to raise public awareness about the possible occurrence of birds in proposed project areas and the risk of killing or injuring birds or destroying active nests. Our office provides these recommendations to minimize the likelihood that injury or death will occur. We encourage proponents to coordinate with our office before conducting actions that could lead to the death or injury of a migratory bird, their young, eggs, or the abandonment or destruction of active nests (e.g., construction or other activity in the vicinity of an active nest).
