Thanks to LucyT for the article.
Hmm, I’ve always wanted a polar bear skin rug. So if I can figure out some way to lure one into a windmill or cook it with carefully placed solar panels... I can bag it?
Just make sure the official cause of death was global warming.
I follow an eagle nest. There are two new little hatchlings and another due to hatch in another day. So if one of these two parents were to die, the other would have a real struggle to raise these three by him/her self. So this toll is not complete.
Get caught with so much as even a naturally dropped feather from one of the protected birds and see what happens to you.
/unless you pose as a windmill, maybe
Run over one with an electric car.
It’s more Eco Friendly.
Not even close.
By now, there should be grackles carpeting every lawn in the area, sparrows and starlings, too.
Haven’t seen them in well over a decade.
The transient migratory birds who came through every spring fly at night, quite often, and the bird blenders get them.
Hardly any bird song in the woods.
*That* is the real “silent spring”.
Don Henley Must Die!
The 10,000 wind turbines in the Columbia River Gorge and Plateau weren’t killing any eagles when we drove through on March 25. Why is that, you ask? Because none of them were spinning. Not a one.
Man was out hunting for dinner and shot a couple of loons. A game warden saw him shoot them and ran over and said
“Whoa there fella... you can’t shoot them, they are protected.”
The fella says “but we’ve been eating them for generstions”
Warden says “well its illegal. I’ll give you a warning g this time, but do t let me catch you again. And just to satisfy my curiosity, what do they taste like?”
The fella says “meh, they ain’t bad, about like spotted owl id say”
Easy to lure them to the windmills, just tie the dead bald eagles to the blades.
They are just killing the view
Between 1917 and 1953, Alaska paid out approx. 100,000 bounties on bald eagles.
Unless you’re a member of a recognized tribe.
That’s the real heartbreak of this wind energy hoax. The magnificent vistas in our country are ruined forever.
Coal companies have to post bonds when they open or expand a surface mine which is used to restore and reclaim the land after the mine is closed. This is good environmental stewardship.
No such bond is required for wind machines. In 30 years when they are dead, rusting hulks, they will be all over the landscape and the wind companies that owned them will be bankrupt or completely out of business. Then the EPA will need a Superfund II to pay to tear down millions of these monstrosities and bury the indestructible fiberglass blades. They may tear down the 300 foot tall towers, but they won’t dig up the millions and millions of tons of concrete buried underground.
It is amazing how people can’t look down the road 20 to 40 years to see this very real looming ecological disaster, yet they do believe you can predict a 0.8 degree temperature rise 100 years from now.
That's because they're at my house along with the also arriving cow birds.
I used to have lots of goldfinches coming to my feeders but for some reason, the last two summers there were none. However, they're back now.
The migratory bird act needs to be either done away with or modified since it includes those damn grackles, cow birds and cormorants.
I know, it’s sick. They wanna tap the ocean waves too. Gee won’t that be grand? That view will be mucked up too. Not as bad as the windmills, but still unsightly
I sure hope the child slave laborers in the cobalt mines in Congo are happy they are doing their part to save the planet for Al Gore and John Kerry.
I haven’t seen cow birds in ages.
I love them.
They’re so friendly.
Please give them all directions to my yard.
