Title: Bird On A Wire? Not If PG&E Can Help It! Sacramento Post by: Donna on 18-Oct-09, 09:53:54 AM Sand hill Cranes are a common sight in some parts of the region. Hundreds of the big birds migrate through the area in what can be a dangerous flight. Now PG&E is working to make the cranes journey a safer one. As the Sand hill Cranes prepare to fly south for the winter, PG&E is installing more than 800 reflectors on power lines to prevent the birds from hitting the wires. :2thumbsup: The reflectors look like a target with the main reflector in the middle. The outside rings glow in the dark. PG&E put most of the reflectors up already and is finishing the project this week. Title: Re: Bird On A Wire? Not If PG&E Can Help It!

Yay for PG&E! :clap: They really are working hard to try to protect lots of wildlife...they should be after some of the major environmental snafus they've found themselves in! :o Title: Re: Bird On A Wire?
