Nesting Bird Surveys for Telecommunications

For three decades, Environmental Assessment Specialists (EAS) has been a trusted partner in the telecommunications industry, providing comprehensive nesting bird surveys and avian compliance services across the United States. Since 1997, our team has supported the expansion of wireless infrastructure by ensuring that every project meets the rigorous requirements of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and FCC environmental regulations.

Efficiency Driven by Expertise

In the fast-paced world of telecom buildouts, we know that timing is everything. A single active nest can delay a project for weeks, but our deep roster of qualified biologists ensures that your timelines remain intact.

• Rapid Mobilization: Our extensive network of field biologists allows us to deploy quickly to any site in the country, minimizing downtime.
• Time-Sensitive Reporting: We provide near-instantaneous feedback and formal pre-construction survey reports, allowing your crews to move forward with confidence.
• Strategic Problem Solving: If an active nest is identified, our team doesn't just "stop" the project. We establish precise no-work buffers and adaptive management plans to keep work moving in non-sensitive areas of the site.

Comprehensive Compliance Services

• Pre-Construction Nesting Surveys: Thorough inspections of towers, structures, and surrounding vegetation.
• Raptor & Songbird Monitoring: Specialized expertise in identifying high-priority species like Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls.
• Regulatory Liaison: Direct coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and state agencies.
• NEPA Checklist Documentation: Ensuring all biological assessments are ready for your FCC Form 854 filings.
