Migratory Bird Scientific Collecting Permit Application
Collecting Activity Table
In the table below, list the species (scientific and common name listed in 50 CFR 10.13) and quantity of migratory birds and eggs you propose to collect; the location(s) where collecting is
proposed (State and, if known, specific Counties or sites); and the type of collecting you propose (e.g., trap and release, trap and relocate, trap and retain, lethal collection, viable egg
collection). If this will be a multi-year project, indicate the species and quantities to be collected each year or throughout the duration of the project. See the accompanying Instructions for
Completing the Scientific Collecting Activity Table below. Use the categories provided below as much as possible but if your collecting request does not fit the categories below, provide
further clarification in your written outline, study proposal, or justification. Attach the completed table to your Scientific Collecting Application.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING COLLECTING ACTIVITY TABLE
Species
Identify the species you propose to collect. Use the scientific and common name(s) listed in 50 CFR 10.13. (See list at
http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/regulationpolicies/mbtandx.html

State
Specify the state where you propose to collect the species. Enter only one state per row.
County or Site (If Known)
You may enter one or more counties, boroughs, or specific collection sites where the collection will occur per row. This block may be left blank.
Collection Period (Calendar Years)
If your project is a single year project, the collection period is “Year 1.” If your project is a multiyear project and you intend to collect the same number of specimens annually,
the collection period is “Annually.” If your project is a multiyear project, the quantity of specimens will vary each year, and you will be collecting opportunistically each year,
the collection period is “Permit Duration (3 years).” If your project is multiyear and the number of specimens will vary each year but you intend to collect a specific quantity of
specimens each year, the collection period is “Year 1,” “Year 2,” and “Year 3,” as needed; you will need to duplicate rows for that species.
Types of Collecting Activities
Do not overlap quantities; the quantities entered in the various types of collecting activities across each row must be mutually exclusive.
Lethal Collection
Enter the maximum quantity of specimens of that species that you propose to kill. This includes shooting or any other proposed method of lethal collection.
Viable Egg Collection
Enter the maximum quantity of eggs (believed to be viable) you plan to collect. If you plan to collect nests with eggs, estimate the maximum number of eggs per nest. This also
includes viable eggs that are collected, incubated, and the hatchlings retained or released. Collection of eggs known to be nonviable is considered salvage and should not be
included here.
Trap & Retain
Enter the maximum quantity of specimens of that species that you propose to live-trap and retain in captivity permanently (either life-long or euthanized upon completion of the
study).
Trap & Release
Enter the maximum quantity of specimens of that species that you propose to live-trap and release at the capture site (e.g., after collection of samples or data). This may include
prolonged holding prior to release.
Trap & Relocate
Enter the maximum quantity of specimens of that species that you propose to live-trap at the capture site and release at another location. This may include prolonged holding
prior to release.
My Collecting Request Doesn’t Fit Your Collecting Categories
Use the categories provided as much as possible; provide further clarification in your written outline, study proposal, or justification.

Maximum Annual Total Requested
Add the quantities per species from all types of collecting that you have listed; enter the sum in this column (e.g. [Maximum Annual Total Requested] = [Lethal Collection] +
[Viable Egg Collection] + [Trap & Retain] + [Trap & Release] + [Trap & Relocate]). If your project is a multiyear project, the quantity of specimens will vary each year, and
you will be collecting opportunistically each year, you may leave the Maximum Annual Total Requested block blank.
Total Quantity Requested
If your project is a single year project, the Total Quantity Requested is the same as the Maximum Annual Total Requested. If your project is a multiyear project and you intend
to collect the same number of specimens annually, the Total Quantity Requested is three times the Maximum Annual Total Requested (e.g. [Total Quantity Requested] = 3 x
[Maximum Annual Total Requested]). If your project is a multiyear project, the quantity of specimens will vary each year, and you will be collecting opportunistically each year,
the Total Quantity Requested is the sum of all types of collecting that you have listed (e.g. [Maximum Annual Total Requested] = [Lethal Collection] + [Viable Egg Collection]
+ [Trap & Retain] + [Trap & Release] + [Trap & Relocate]). If your project is multiyear and the number of specimens will vary each year but you intend to collect a specific
quantity of specimens each year, add the Maximum Annual Totals for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3 (as applicable).
