72 North American Species

I always figure that if in doubt don't.......rules are lurking for the unsuspecting in some cases.......and the rules will be applied with much glee and fan fair it seems...."Yup we caught another one of those criminal minded hunters...throw the book at em".....

I was just re-reading the info On the USFW site. The link I posted is not a list of the [font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]federally threatened or endangered birds. It appears that the list in the link covers the species which are regulated by the migratory bird act. I had only scanned for Harlequins and did not see them listed however, after reading thu this list in question, I see Mallard, Bufflehead, Coot etc. so clearly this list is not the list we need.

I have not yet found the list for the [/font][font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]federally threatened or endangered birds.

Ah hah. The whole time I was looking at the picture in the book I was thinking dang that looks just like a black bellied. Perhaps my reference material is out of date. 1988 is ancient history for taxonomists.

I did find on a maine site where they explained that Harlis are not listed as federally threatened because there was not enough info to say if they were actually a separate population. They are only listed as state threatened in maine.

Eric,

Taxonomist exist to frustrate the fledgling field biologist until they begin dribbling out the corners of their mouths,,,,,

Been there in the past...such an admission....

Tim,

I just found the info ( or think I did) on the USFW site but when I clicked on their link it would not load up properly on my computer. You might try snooping around the USFW site to see if you have better luck, I need to be off to bed now(early morning tomorrow) but will do more checking tomorrow nite.

EDIT;


I think I finally found the list we were all looking for.
Back at the USFW site searching for endangered, this link will take you there. Scrolling down that page you will find “These species are listed in the U.S.” where you can click on “birds” which should bring up the list

The Eastern population is not listed by the USFWS as endangered or threatened. But there is no open season on them in the Atlantic Flyway. They are listed under Canadian domestic legislation as threatened or endangered
http://www.ns.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/harlequin/index.html The Eastern population of Barrow's goldeneyes are also listed in eastern Canada and Maine (by STATE LAW).

HDM-all native migratory birds are protected by the Federal Law known as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This law makes it illegal to take any and all Migratory Birds without authorization by the USFWS. The Endangered Species Act protects species, subspecies, races, specific distinct segments of populations of any listed biological entity (from Polar Bears to plants) upon a ruling by USFWS that the entity is in danger of extinction without the help of the Federal government.
