If a falconer’s raptor kills any native prey species unintentionally (including a game animal taken outside of a regular hunting season) the falconer: (1) May allow his or her raptor to feed on the animal, but may not take the animal into possession; (2) Must report take of any federally listed threatened or endangered species to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service State Office or appropriate U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service field office nearest to the location in which the take occurred; and (3) Must report to the Department’s program staff within five days the take of any species taken outside of regular hunting season and any migratory birds, state threatened or endangered or regulated birds. The report must include name of the species taken, date, number taken and approximate location. The information may be submitted by phone, mail, fax, email, or in person.
