Welcome to Injury and Mortality Reporting (IMR)

What is IMR?

The Injury and Mortality Reporting (IMR) System is a repository for data on injured or dead birds and bats. It was created to inform the management of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s trust resources in the face of an expanding human population, the infrastructure to support it, and the consequential impact on our nation’s birds and bats.

This database centralizes and standardizes the collection of information regarding sources and locations of injury and mortality. Over time, this data will become increasingly useful to assess relative levels of observed mortality from various sources. The Injury and Mortality Reporting System is located within the Service’s Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS), which contains tools designed to assist both the public and private sectors in conserving our nation’s natural heritage.

The Service is also coordinating with several laboratories and wildlife rehabilitators to enable direct incorporation of eagle necropsy reports into the System. As other useful data sets are identified, those will be added or linked into the System as well.
