Many of the migratory birds endangered by the installation of wind turbines on
the shore of Lake Erie are the very same birds that we observe, watch and enjoy
here in VA and NC.
For more information on how you can protest the installation of these killing
machines in such a documented, sensitive area can be found in this ABA Blog:
http://blog.aba.org/2013/12/birders-needed-to-speak-up-on-great-lakes-wind-turbine-issue.html
It only takes a moment to send an email and sign the petition (at the bottom of
the above linked page) for the Black Swamp Bird Observatory to use in its
protests regarding these installations.
For additional information, have a look at the Black Swamp Bird Observatory
web site: http://www.bsbo.org/wind_energy.htm ;
Wind energy has its place, but that place is not in the direct migratory path
of so many birds. Again, please check out the information above.
Thank you and Cheers,
