Wind Turbine Plot To Murder Bald Eagles
by Anorak | 4th, November 2013
HAVING killed the bird of the century, sliced golden eagles and made bats explode, the US bald eagle is getting the silent treatment:
More than four decades ago the golden eagle was awarded the same protections under US law as the country’s national bird, the bald eagle. Even disturbing their nests is a criminal offence.
The raptor is not considered to be under threat but scientists are worried about a recent increase in the number of golden eagles killed by wind turbines. Eagles in flight tend to focus on the ground below as they look for prey, unaware of the fast-spinning blades in their paths until it’s too late.
