A few days ago I posted about seeing the Ivanpah solar plant from the air. A commenter mentioned that it was killing lots of birds. I just saw in the Palm Springs newspaper that the US Fish and Wildlife Service has issued a report calling it a “mega-trap” killing birds. This picture is of a fried Northern Rough-winged Swallow found at Ivanpah.
Interesting. The article that Reid links to contains a broken link to the US Fish & Wildlife report. If you want to see the details, the full link to that report is:
