It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s . . . Coming Toward Your Tower?
Room: 12

Communications tower issues range from the well-known painting and lighting requirements to nesting and migratory bird concerns, to a new construction standard and to new procedures for locating towers on historic property or tribal lands. The FCC sought existing scientific research concerning the number of migratory bird collisions with communications towers and the role that specific factors, such as lighting, height and type of antenna structure, weather, location, physiographic features of sites, and migration paths may have in increasing or decreasing the incidence of such collisions. This session will discuss it all.
