This page is dynamic as partners actively engage to improve it. The purpose of the page will be to house known activity and species-specific beneficial practices for birds. Having this repository of measures has for some time been identified as a critical need for a number of agencies and organizations.  These measures can be used by the general public, federal and state agencies, industry and others seeking to avoid and minimize impacts to birds in their daily activities.
