"American Bird Conservancy is disappointed in the Department of the Interior decision to approve the Cape Wind Project because the science collected for the project on bird collision threats is inadequate, and the site will reduce prime offshore sea-duck foraging habitat. Further, there are data to suggest that loons will likely abandon the area for years to come, and there may be significant impacts to endangered Roseate Terns , which breed in nearby Buzzard's Bay and feed in Nantucket Sound," said Dr. Michael Fry Director of Conservation Advocacy for American Bird Conservancy. Dr Fry is Chairman of the Federal Minerals Management Service Environmental Studies Advisory Committee. American Bird Conservancy (www.abcbirds.org<http://www.abcbirds.org>) conserves native birds and their habitats throughout the Americas by safeguarding the rarest species, conserving and restoring habitats, and reducing threats while building capacity of the bird conservation movement. ABC is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit membership organization that is consistently awarded a top, four-star rating by the independent group, Charity Navigator. .. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
