transmission towers and lines



There was a posting last week asking for information on bird
mortality and other issues with birds and power transmission towers and
lines.  Here are a few citations to both scholarly and local works and
some theses and other things dealing with topic.  Could the person who
posted the request be sure it is transmitted to whomever needed the
information?  Thanks.  Since this listserv does not permit attachments I
have put the listing in the body of the message.  I will be glad to send
an attachment if you contact me directly.
