Maybe the sardine cans are for hanging on the fence, to rattle when the bear comes over/under, might turn him around, I suppose...I'd think the sardine stank might actually draw the bears.

I was thinking the sardine smell would cause the bears to snuffle and maybe lick, the electrified can?

There's a thought. A jolt to the tongue would deter me.

Well, from most chicks, anyway.

Exactly. There is almost no fence that can stop a determined bear so you have to scare the bejesus outa them. Electric does not deter someone in a bear suit unless they make wet tongue contact or are convinced to pee on it.

The White-throated Needletail - the world's fastest flying bird - was thousands of miles off course after turning up at Tarbert on the Isle of Harris. It was first seen by two bird spotters from Northumberland on Monday. There has not been a sighting of the species in Britain since 1991 when a single bird was seen four times - in Kent, Staffordshire, Derbyshire and finally Shetland.
Twitchers are Brit bird watchers who upon hearing of a rare bird sighting, will travel to the location to trying to notch their binocular belt. This is the ninth sighting in Britain since 1846.



Quote:
"Once the news was spread on the evening, many birders started preparing for the long journey north in the hope of catching up with the bird," said Mr Duffield. "Unfortunately after showing very well to the delight of all present yesterday - probably around 40 people in the morning with others arriving in the afternoon - it was seen to hit the blade of a small wind turbine in Tarbert and was killed.
Quote:
He added: "The corpse will be sent to a museum but obviously this is just terrible. Some people will have lost the cost of their flights.

Grav, that's such a slice of gorgeousness!
(Slick would have thought so too... in a different way)

Bruce, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Poor birdie.

Wind power's unintended consequence. Happens pretty frequently.

I've read the stats on bird kills from these things and don't get it. I've seen a lot of wind turbines and they look like they're turning very slowly. I've also seen a lot of birds and most of them look like they can move and maneuver pretty quickly. I guess the turbines are moving faster than they look because they are so big...


...and the birds don't avoid them because they're busy texting.

Pretty much. They're massive. I saw one (in pieces) on a trailer on the highway.
I was amazed at how big - shocked really.

OK, I found this for a NJ wind farm.

Quote:
Depending on wind conditions the blades turn at rates between 10 and 20 revolutions per minute. Considering the length of the blades, at average wind speeds of 13 to 15 mph, the tips are traveling at 120 mph. At maximum wind speeds, the blade tips are spinning at an estimated 180 mph.
Reminds me of the Chinook blades spinning at 102 rpm, with a tip speed of near 500 mph.
