![USFWS Region 6 Recommendations for Avoidance and Minimization of Impacts to Golden Eagles at Wind Energy Facilities (2021)](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/documents/usfws-r6-recommendations-avoidance-minimization-of-impacts-golden-eagles-wind-energy-projects-v3-2021.pdf-p1.jpeg?itok=mPzA7qSZ)
This voluntary guidance was originally developed through a joint effort between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Migratory Bird Management and Ecological Services Programs in the Region 6 Regional Office in Lakewood, Colorado, and the Wyoming Ecological Services Field Office in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The document includes our joint recommendations to avoid and minimize impacts to golden eagles (GOEA) in relation to wind energy facilities at: (a) recently occupied nests, (b) unoccupied nests, (c) areas of concentrated prey resources, and (d) other project-specific eagle activity areas. These USFWS recommendations are for wind energy projects in Region 6 only (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas).
