Not to mention that the huge concentration of ducks, geese, swans, shorebirds, gulls, and raptors would make airplane/bird collisions extremely likely.

Thanks to Martha Jordan for posting the proposed WA airport sites yesterday.
In case Tweeters readers are not aware, one proposed "greenfield" site is centered on the Samish Flats in Skagit County, one of the premier birding areas in North America.
Although it is unbelievable to me that anyone could even consider such a ridiculous idea, nevertheless, it is on their list.
Although I seldom get involved in such things, I am encouraging everyone that cares about Skagit and Samish to send your thoughts and opinions in to the siting commission as recommended by Martha yesterday.
Swans, Snow Geese, Black Brant, ducks, shorebirds, raptors and more are all good reasons to write.
Thanks for listening. This must be stopped.
