CALGARY – John Campbell has worked with falcons, eagles and hawks in the wild for decades, all over Western Canada. He has monitored nests near Pincher Creek since the 1970s, and banded thousands of baby raptors, long before the area became the birthplace of wind power in Canada.
Campbell has been finding more and more empty nests in the area. “Currently there are 10 sites that could be occupied; only five are producing young right now,” Campbell said. In Alberta, several species of raptors are considered sensitive, or at risk.
The birds aren’t dying from turbine strikes, Campbell said. They are abandoning high-quality nests because of the pressure of turbine development. Wind turbines mess up the birds’ lives, much in the same way drivers would be stressed if a busy freeway suddenly closed. The raptors move to lower quality sites, where fewer chicks survive.

Sheesh, and now Tim Weis is with CanWea??
Remember when he was the host of the Heidi Show for Pembina iInstitute in Grand Bend, London and Chatham? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Bv14Ub4qs4
This is surreal to watch, as the question this man asks is the same one we asked at our ERT’s – what are the cumulative impacts of these projects on raptors? But the tribunal didn’t care, they were satisfied that there would be eagles elsewhere in the world, even if the local population was wiped clear out. Sometimes this feels like I’m watching a horror show unfold in slow motion…
Yes, Weis has moved on.
ENGOs, farm organizations, foundations and now faith-based organizations are backing this fiasco.

Ecological expeditions:
for balancing a pioneering investment
————————————————–
Jet-setters seeking adventure, unique, out of the ordinary travel might want to consider taking Ted Turner Expeditions just added Armendaris Bat Flight expedition in New Mexico.
You will be among the first to explore the private ranch which houses a calculated 1.6 million bats of the mostly Mexican Free Tail variety, in two large lava cabes.
Obviously not for the squeamish, this expedition is design for strong stomachs and daring dos who would enjoy watching the bats emerge at dusk to feed (between June and September).
It is a roughly five-hour trip that leaves from the Sierra Grand Lodge in the late afternoon (at 4:30) and escorts guests through 360,000-acres of land before getting to the bat cave.
Along the way you’ll see other wildlife such as bison, pronghorn, oryx, and various other indigenous denizens who dwell in the Chihuahuan desert.Rates for the tour range from $275 a person and come with a picnic dinner prepared at the Armendaris Ranch.
The brainchild of media mogul, former husband of Jane Fonda, Ted Turner, Ted Turner Expeditions offers bespoke tours that let participants commune with nature and experience the local wildlife of the areas.
Turner says he formed the ecological expeditions tours “as a pioneering investment in balancing conservation and economic sustainability.” Company headquarters is located in Truth or Consequences, NM, at Sierra Grande Lodge & Spa where guests can relax following a day of bat cave activities.
Even if you’re not especially interested in the blind, night-flying creatures, you will find the Lodge as a comfortable choice for a romantic couples escape or just a place to relax and commune with nature. For more information about the bat tour click here and/or watch the video.
A little bat story
According to Bat Conservation, the scary-looking vampire-like nocturnal creatures are among the most unique animals in the world. Did you know that they are the only mammals, that developed true flight. Bat Conservation explains that bats have their own scientific order: Chiroptera (Greek for hand-wing) and are crucial to many ecosystems around the world. The site also explains that insect-eating bats are the primary predators of night-flying insect and that one little brown bat can eat 1000 insects per hour, impressive.
So are you up for seeing more than a million bats feeding, then this tour’s for you.

You are so right: rent the celebrities and the GTA will show up .. Just to say I got a glimpse, touched the gods..
Jobs, justice, and climate change .. All smoke and mirrors … They came for their cheque, made their brief appearance and then jumped into their fossil fuelled mode of transpiration .
Al Gore is still popular .. And why .. I just don’t get it .. What a crook ..
It amazes me that people refuse to follow this story as it has unfolded since Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’.
What would possess a person to be unable to deal with reality and to cling to misinformation he presented?

Did Klein get to the Vatican via 350.org or CIDSE/Development & Peace or influence from both? Both are active in Canada.
Get religious/faith-based organizations behind climate change.
Then watch for the actions of environmental groups in the up-coming federal election.

Share this with your friends!
Barbara, here’s an account of a recent conversation that Anthony Watts at wattsupwiththat had with Bill McKibben.
I found his attempt to understand McKibben interesting. Funding sources also explain McKibben’s distortions of reality.
I don’t know about Klein but I do know that it takes time and energy to research the leading edge science that is exposing the IPCC distortions.
Maybe she’s too busy.
The issue with Klein is that she now has credibility that she did not have prior to July 3, 2015.
350.org has credibility they didn’t have before. And now this moves on to some mayors in the U.S. and the mayor of Vancouver.

Emails reveal liberal think tank’s climate strategy director advised top EPA officials on dealing with skeptical reporter
‘[excerpt] The Environment & Energy (E&E) Legal Institute obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act request. Chris Horner, a senior legal fellow at E&E, said they show extensive behind-the-scenes collaboration between EPA and third-party groups that support the regulations.
“The chief lawyer tasked with making the global warming agenda happen cuts and pastes Team Soros arguments and strategies into emails and sends them to colleagues as his own,” Horner said in an email.
Weiss, who is now the senior vice president for campaigns at the League of Conservation Voters, another influential green group, did not respond to a request for comment.’

The Corporation of Norfolk County, Ontario uses creative accounting.
And how!
Did you know: there are $13 million worth of trees along the streets in the villages of Norfolk County? Up until now, the trees had a value of $0! Amazing!
————————-
“But it’s not like you can sell the trees and get $13 million,” the taxpayer said.
“Oh, but yes we can!” the Norfolk County fiduciary shot back.
“And how’s that?”
“The people in the city are gunna buy carbon credits.”
“O ya? Then how come the Long Point Region Conservation Authority gave hundreds of acres of mature forests in the Backus Woods to the Nature Conservancy of Canada for the measly interest earned on a paltry $5 million valuation? Why didn’t we, the people, keep the forest, and sell the alleged carbon credits ourselves?”
“Well that was a few years ago. I don’t have any interest in answering questions about that.”
“I see. Well tell me more about these $13 million of trees.”
“Really, it’s just super. And the good folks in the city are even offering us an investment opportunity where we can put the $13 million to good use, making above average ROI’s. We just gotta sign this contract and take out a bit of a loan — we gotta leverage our $13 million, y’ see — and pretty soon we’ll all get raises!”
It took this taxpayer no time at all respond. “Well it sounds like fraud to me.”
“And how’s that?”
“Well– what you’re selling is…”
“It’s what the people want!”
“Did you ever hear of the Dutch Tulip Craze?”
