Tweeter friends: Defenders of Wildlife is currently asking people to
comment about FCC tower bird strikes. The deadline to comment is this
Monday, April 23. Please take action now at the link below. Also, please
send the request to your other birding lists. Thanks, Sue Chickman, Sequim
(Sorry for cross postings)

Each year, millions of birds are killed during their annual migration as
they collide with communications towers and other structures.

But many of these deaths could be prevented. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) is considering developing rules that could help minimize
bird mortality from collisions with structures it regulates. They need to
hear from you. But the deadline to comment is Monday, April 23rd. Please
take a moment to let the FCC know you'd like protections for birds.
