Two more Golden Eagles found dead at Tahachapi wind farm

The Los Angeles Times reports today that two more Golden Eagles have been found dead at the Pine Tree wind development in the Tehachapi Mountains, bringing the total number of eagles found there to eight. Given that it is illegal to kill Golden Eagles, this could present a profound legal problem for the operators of the wind farm, but it also calls to attention the need to better site these projects to avoid conflicts with protected species.
