Hi All,

It is good to see that Nova Scotia Power has taken action to mitigate the
high bird mortality at the Canso Causeway. However, it is important to point
out that other power lines cross the Strait of Canso (at Auld's Cove) and
more are still to come with the Muskrat Falls project. It is more difficult
to assess the bird mortality that occurs from collision with power lines
that cross over water in comparison to the better estimates of mortality
that can be made at the causeway by walking along the highway and counting
the carcasses. For those who wish to read more about this, the environmental
assessment for the new transmission lines can be found here:

John
