N.M. Admin. Code § 19.35.8.15 - RAPTOR PROPAGATION
A federal permit is required for raptor propagation and activities associated with it are permitted in accordance with Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 21.30 . No additional state permit is required.
A. A falconry raptor may be
temporarily used for propagation without notice of transfer by individuals
permitted to conduct raptor propagation.
B. A permittee may transfer a wild-caught
falconry raptor to a raptor propagation permit after the raptor has been used
in falconry for at least two years (one year for a sharp-shinned hawk
(Accipiter striatus), a Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii), a merlin (Falco
columbarius), or an American kestrel).
C. When transferred to a propagation permit
the acquisition of the raptor by the propagator shall be reported to the
department within 10 days. The notification shall be filed through the USFWS
3186-A electronic reporting in accordance with appropriate state and federal
regulations.
D. Raptors possessed
for propagation, including all progeny produced pursuant to the permitted
activity, must be identified with a band issued by the department. A falconer
may purchase and implant an ISO microchip in addition to the
band.
