Wind Turbines near Magee Marsh
For those of us who love nature, it's hard to oppose clean energy projects. Wind energy holds tremendous potential for reducing dependence on coal. However, wind turbines pose very real threats for migratory birds.
This particular project is proposed for a very busy flyway close to one of America's best loved bird refuges, Magee Marsh.
Please take a moment to sign the petition, write a letter, or send a donation.

Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens)
This was pretty typical - kind of like a teenaged boy... He would rattle his pouch, then check the sky to see if any of the ladies were watching. We wished him good luck.

This was one of those things that I had seen on countless nature shows when I was a kid. Seeing them in person was amazing!
