Bats and Wind Energy—A Literature Synthesis and Annotated Bibliography
While wind energy hasn't been a huge factor (yet) in our LCC geography, the potential exists for expansion in the future and the impacts of these wind farms on some of the migratory bats that winter in our area is something to consider. This recent literature synthesis put together by USGS helps brings some clarity to the issue.USGS Open-File Report 2012-1110: Bats and Wind Energy—A Literature Synthesis and Annotated BibliographySuggested citation:Ellison, L.E., 2012, Bats and wind energy—A…See More

The authors are all FWS or USGS employees that were directly involved in the process. The abstract is included below; full-text and PDF versions of the open access article are available here (full-text) and…

John, No, I did not take this picture of Big Spring. It is one of my favorite places in Missouri, though. Danny Brown, the photographer is an MDC Fisheries Mgmt Biologist who samples fishes in the MO River. He takes awesome pictures and posts them at https://www.dannybrownphotography.com He is very generous and shares his photography if you need a particular photo.
Hey John: thanks for the "at a girl". I appreciate Mark's staff notes he sends out as I imagine most employees do.
The Yellowcheek is a challenging little fish and doesn't seem to like to spawn that well in captivity - at least not in our tanks yet. We have a great partnership with the Conway ES office (Jim Boggs' crew) and Mitch Wine was instrumental in getting us set up. We'll keep raising trout and keep working on our spawing techniques for the YCD. Have a good one-ss
Hey John! I am on the job here in north LA and finally have computer access. Let me know where I can start getting effectively plugged in to the happenings here in the GCPO.
It was great to meet you today, John. If I can be of help, stop by! I'll go work on my profile.
John, I posted the SDAFS Technical Committee Meeting announcement on the Alligator Gar Conservation Group site. Can we, or should we, post in on the main GCPO site also?
