Re: Blk crk resv
In the U.S., it is illegal to hunt grebe species. Grebes are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), a law that safeguards over 1,000 species of migratory birds, including grebes. This act makes it unlawful to pursue, hunt, capture, kill, or sell these birds, as well as their eggs, nests, or parts, without a permit. Violating the MBTA can result in significant fines and penalties. Grebes are mainly admired for their striking appearances and behaviors, and their populations are managed to ensure their conservation.
That’s all!

Re: Blk crk resv
I have not hunted with a gun in many years and my grandfather said divers were not good to eat so I never wanted to eat one so never shot any.
From what I can tell you are correct they are protected in all states where federal migratory bird protections are in place and according to my count of the list that is 50 states including Idaho.

I believe grebes are illegal to hunt. They are protected as a non-game species.
