How did this get on Ohio birds? Do you know about this company? An HCP
results in permitting to kill endangered species.

Landscape-level Planning: The Great Plains Wind Energy Habitat Conservation
Plan for the Whooping Crane and other endangered species.
Whooping cranes migrate along a 1500-mile long corridor extending from
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, which corresponds to some of the best wind
resources in North America. To comply with the Endangered Species Act and
seek to avoid potential impacts to four covered species, with a primary
focus on Whooping Cranes, 17 wind industry companies, through their
affiliation with the American Wind Energy Association and in collaboration
with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and state agencies, are developing the
Great Plains Wind Energy Habitat Conservation Plan (GPWE HCP). In an
innovative, forward-looking effort to design a landscape-level HCP that,
according to the joint mission statement, "provides a means for reasonable
wind power development in the planning area, that will support the survival
and recovery of the species covered in the HCP," the plan considers the
future development of wind energy facilities in a nine-state, 200-mile wide
area of the central US. The companies are collaborating with the US Fish and
Wildlife Service as well as the state wildlife agencies included in this 268
million acre area to analyze potential impacts from the proposed development
and operation of wind energy facilities on two endangered species: the
Whooping Crane and Interior Least Tern; one threatened species, the Piping
Plover; and on the Lesser Prairie-Chicken, a species that is a candidate for
listing. In a presentation on this collective work, Karen Tyrell, BHE
Environmental, representing a team, will highlight the benefits of this
regional conservation planning approach.
