No person shall, in a migratory bird sanctuary: (a) hunt migratory birds; (b) disturb, destroy or take the nests of migratory birds; or (c) have in his possession a live migratory bird, or a carcass, skin, nest or egg of a migratory bird, except under authority of a permit therefor. No person shall have in his possession in a migratory bird sanctuary any firearm or any hunting appliance except as otherwise provided in these Regulations. Use of boats and animals is restricted as are a series of other activities in sanctuaries. Certain exceptions are made for residents. No person shall, in a migratory bird sanctuary, carry on any activity that is harmful to migratory birds or the eggs, nests or habitat of migratory birds, except under authority of a permit.
