This is just the beginning. Imagine this: many birds eat weed seeds, harmful insects and other agricultural pests. One bobwhite may rid a field of 15,000 weed seeds. Numerous birds eat insects that damage crops. Robins and sparrows are highly effective against cabbageworms, tomato worms and leaf beetles.

Bats also perform a valuable service for people by eating hundreds of insects per day. Many bat species feed on insects that fly at night and they have the unique ability to capture them in flight. Bats also eat large insects found on the ground.

Both birds and bats play a vital role in maintaining the balance of nature. Without them, the insect population would grow at an alarming rate. This will create a huge impact on the farms, people and animals in our area.

More consideration and belief need to be given to the vast research that has been done regarding the impact of wind turbines on our environment before decisions are made again that will profit a few and harm many.
