Description
We use Canada geese (Branta canadensis) as an example of the new federal permitting process to legally control the nests of these birds. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has regulatory authority to enforce the provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Under MBTA, depredation permits are needed to destroy nuisance nests of resident Canada geese. We outline the new permitting process and its welcomed benefits.
