BIRD SPECIES OF CONCERN FOR THEMID-ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS
Concern exists regarding the status of a number of bird species potentially occurring in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands. Table C-5 contains a list of neotropical-migrant bird species and Table C-6 contains a list of bird species of conservation concern. Because such species should receive careful attention when considering the impacts of a proposed wind-energy facility for the Mid-Atlantic Highlands. These lists should be updated as the status of these and other species changes.
