Jack hit the nail on the head....Wind Towers are just one tiny addition to bird mortality....Power transmission lines alone kill untold numbers of birds every year alone...One way or another we are going to kill off our migrants with or without wind farms via... the mini suns of huge chemical plants on the coast, 7000 brightly lit oil rigs in the gulf, our cars, habitat destruction herbicides/insecticides......What it comes down to, is humans just are going to have to start thinning themselves down.....Or they will be "hitting the blades" before to long as well. -- Brush Freeman 361-655-7641 http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca de los Alacranes., Utley,Texas TEXBIRDS help file and Texas birding links at: http://moonmountaingroup.com/texbirds
