Interesting article on birds and transmission towers
Interesting article that was sent to me below.
http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id213952&sidy
We have an electrical transmission tower line going through our property and
find fatalities underneath, especially during migration. Most interesting is
we sometimes find a species that we don't see on the ground until a week later.
Lincoln Sparrows seem most susceptible . The raptors find the towers a
perfect perch and the Loggerhead Shrike likes the lower perches, along with the
Great Horned Owl in the evening.
We are enjoying wintering American Pipets this winter in both fields.
