[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounded off his rocker and senile today.

All his ramblings about fields of dead birds because of windmills ... what? And then don't kill a bald eagle because windmills ... huh?

Weird guy.

DP. Here's my small little PSA for the day.

Trump is a dangerous wack job. But there is an issue with windmills killing endangered birds on migration. Certainly not fields of endangered birds like he's claiming, and nobody thinks windmills are wiping out the Bald Eagle. But in combination with the outdoor cats and land development it all adds up.

Still, the windmill people are on it. For example, there are sensors that shut the windmills down temporarily when they detect incoming eagles or whatever. New windmill projects usually need local/state approval to ensure they're not in key migration flight paths, and the bird groups always show up when there's a potential problem.

So Trump can shut up now. [/quote]

PS. Bald Eagles again. Do you want to know the real problem eagles and raptors face? Lead bullets and lead fishing tackle. Many raptors eat carcasses left behind by hunters, and those carcasses are contaminated by led bullets. Bald Eagles mostly eat fish but they will also scavenge carrion. There have been bills to outlaw lead bullets, but because they're slightly more expensive than (equally effective) alternatives, republicans always vote them down.

Nearly half of Bald Eagles suffer from lead poisoning. Lead is a neurotoxin and it's a horrible death. https://apnews.com/article/science-health-animals-birds-bald-eagles-8aa5cb2aa77fe3d045cd72a724376e3c[/quote]
