Rick and VA Birders,
The Dec. 24, 2003, WASHINGTON POST has an article on page A2 on "Peril in
the Wind Industry; Turbines That Produce Clean Energy Also Kill Migrating
Birds." It is a grim story about the wind turbines at Altamont Pass, east of
San
Francisco, CA, which are estimated to have killed an estimated 44,000 birds
over the last 20 years. Anyone with an interest in the proposed wind turbine
project in Highland Co., or wind turbine projects in general, should read this
article.
