Project Description
The overall goal of this project was to provide an additional residential development in Omaha Metropolitan area, near Blair High Road and Ida Street. Approximately five acres of wooded area of the formerly agricultural property was designated for clearing for the new development.
E&A’s scientist thoroughly surveyed the property, identifying twenty-three nests, thirteen of which were actively being used. E&A flagged the locations of the active nests and coordinated with the tree removal contractor to eliminate any impacts to the breeding birds on the property.
*Note: An avian nest survey must be conducted or supervised by a qualified biologist. Per Nebraska Game and Parks Commission recommendations, avian nest surveys should be completed no more than 5 days prior to the proposed tree or vegetation removal activities, but no more than 7 days can elapse under the MBTA. The MBTA is applicable year-round, but most migratory bird nesting in Nebraska takes place between April and September.
