Hi Everyone. Meye here, the “Blissful Bluebird.” By the way, I did not title myself as blissful. Ever. That was the crazy publishing lady. I know that I have been out of sight for quite a while, and lacking in the production department for my division. Just as The Gazette has, I hope that you will be understanding of my absence. It certainly has not been without warranting cause. You see, my fellow feathered flyers are in grave danger…       (“is there any other kind?”)

Some of Americas most incredibly iconic species of birds are at increased risk as our nation tests various technologies for the implementation of wind power. While we stand in united understanding that there will be casualties among birds as better planetary solutions for power are found, it is also arguable that some consideration for our safety and limiting our losses should at the very least be taken into consideration prior to these physical tests.

Please help us to secure the safety of such amazing birds as the Golden Eagle, endangered Whooping Crane, and Greater Sage-Grouse. You can do  something to help at this very moment by following this link and signing the petition:

Democracy In Action: Petition
