Title: Wind power turbines in Altamont Pass threaten protected Eagles (CA) Post by: Donna on 06-Jun-11, 06:26:20 AM http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-adv-wind-eagles-20110606,0,4078175.story (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-adv-wind-eagles-20110606,0,4078175.story) video and story
The death count, averaging 67 a year for three decades, worries field biologists because the turbines, which have been providing thousands of homes with emissions-free electricity since the 1980s, lie within a region of rolling grasslands and riparian canyons containing one of the highest densities of nesting golden eagles in the United States. |
