With Mixed Emotions
Our northern border has become a home to hundreds of wind generators. They are huge. About fifty miles east of my house, a large wind project is being built. This generator (and dozens more like it) have been erected and will soon be operational.

In principle I must like these behemoths. Energy from the wind is clean.

However, several hours before I took the sunset shot of the windmill, I took this photo of a huge flock of migrating snow geese. There were thousands of them; the two pictures were taken only a mile or so apart.

What will happen when the giant wind turbines begin operation? It is naive to think that migrating birds will not suffer because of our need for electricity.
