[SBE] Birds and tower lighting - formerly going green

[Kim Sacks]

How does switching to LED beacons and side lighting avoid problems with
birds? The whole issue of birds and towers has always confused me a little.
I've read some of the documents online from the EPA in early '06 (I think it
was the EPA) about birds flying into towers because they mistake the lights
for stars, or something along those lines. Has anyone actually proven that
dead birds found at tower sites died because they flew into a tower?  Are
there any new documents available about birds and towers?

2. No Bird problems and the FAA asking you to change out anyway.
