Make Wind Power Bird-Smart
[Note: Although Wind Watch finds the premise to be largely unsubstantiated that wind power has any benefit beyond tax avoidance for its investors, the need to protect birds and their environments remains crucial.] Dear U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wind power can be an important energy source for the United States, but it is just as important that it meet high standards to protect birds and other wildlife.

These birds mostly fly at night and spend the days resting and feeding.
