Permittees or their designated agents must meet minimum qualifications to scope or excavate a burrow as part of an incidental take permit. Incidental take permits for burrowing owls often involve scoping and excavating burrowing owl burrows.

Applicants should include the Burrowing Owl Supplemental Application with their online application materials. Incidental take permits currently are referred to as migratory bird nest removal permits in the online permitting system.
Please refer to the burrowing owl Species Conservation Measures and Permitting Guidelines (Guidelines) for additional guidance on obtaining a permit.
