Hi Brumar89; Re golden eagle deaths in California. I'm not exactly a proponent of wind power (I think we should pull their subisidies), but I can't help but wondering about that article. So they've had that wind farm in that location for 30 years. And they're saying: "It would take 167 pairs of local nesting golden eagles to produce enough young to compensate for their mortality rate related to wind energy production," said field biologist Doug Bell, manager of East Bay Regional Park District's wildlife program. "We only have 60 pairs." So why aren't all the golden eagles dead already? And besides, the guy is claiming that it takes 167 pairs of golden eagles to make enough babies to allow 67 to get mangled by the wind farms. That works out to be 0.4 babies per couple. What's up with that? Maybe they allow gay marriage for golden eagles in California? Like with a lot of things, I think that Mother Nature is a lot more adaptable then people think She is. If the government took it as a task to wipe out the Golden Eagles I think we'd find it a long and strenuous process. (On the other hand, if they put a high enough bounty on them private enterprise could take them out soon enough.) -- Carl
