U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Division of Migratory Bird Management

Note: A Federal permit to take golden eagle nests is available only to parties engaged in a resource development or recovery
operation and only when nests are inactive. An inactive nest is one that is not currently used by golden eagles as determined by the
absence of any adult, egg, or dependent young at the nest during the 10 days before the nest is taken. You must be at least 18
years old to apply for a migratory bird permit.
Please provide the information requested below. If additional information needs to be provided that does not fit in the designated
spaces, add additional sheets to your application submission. You may use as many additional sheets as needed. Please number
pages accordingly using the page number box provided at the bottom of the sheet, and the corresponding question number. You
should be as thorough and specific as possible in your responses. Incomplete applications will be returned.
As the permittee, you are legally responsible for ensuring that your subpermittees, staff, and volunteers adhere to the terms of your
permit.
FOR RENEWAL APPLICATIONS: Please answer all questions in Section E below in addition to filling out Sections A-D above. All
information must be provided, required reporting must be up to date (use report form 3-202-16), and processing fees paid, or the
renewal will not be processed.

be readily located by the Service. If you need assistance determining the latitude/longitude for a specific location in decimal
degrees, you can use any of the "latitude and longitude finder" tools available online for this purpose.
b) A map and digital photographs that show the location of the nest in relation to buildings, infrastructure, and human activities.
c) A map with the location of the property, including city, county and State
