Luke,
I have forwarded your posts to U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for comment regarded protection of the swallow colony under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) since they administer the MBTA as a federal law. Thanks.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Luke Ormand Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2011 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [nysbirds-l] Bank swallow colony - Farmingville The issue of the Swallows was brought up to the property owner/developer this morning and he said that he wil refrain from construction activities in those areas until nesting has been completed. I presume that under the Migratory Bird Act these nests would be covered - anyone with more information (DEC folks?) please feel free to share on here or through e-mail. There is also potential for keeping part of the natural slope (instead of grading it) for future use as a nesting site but that is to be determined. -- - Luke Ormand www.birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com <http://www.birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/> www.wildlongisland.blogspot.com <http://www.wildlongisland.blogspot.com/> -- NYSbirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm > Archives: The Mail Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html> Surfbirds <http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L> BirdingOnThe.Net <http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html> Please submit your observations to eBird <http://ebird.org/content/ebird/> ! -- -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
