While researching photovoltaic efficiencies I found an interesting article on wind turbine eagle kills.
http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/new-eagle-kill-regulations-for-wind-farms-may-have-mixed-consequences "At Altamont Pass, California, a hilly area and one of the nations largest wind development areas, an estimated 70 eagles are killed each year." was what really surprised me. I knew towers were big killers of birds but did not realize the eagle count was so high. The article is mostly about regulations and not kill numbers. --- Please contribute your sightings to our list; it is only as good as members make it! --- Birding channel recommendation for FRS/GMRS radio use: Primary selection; channel 5/0 , alternate selection; channel 6/0 --- This mailing list is sponsored by the Iowa Ornithologists' Union.
