This intervention reduces bird collisions by two-thirds.
Concern expressed about whether people will accept the appearance. Note that birds can see in the near-ultraviolet, so one option is a color visible to them, but not us.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Best case we have a couple seats in the state supreme Court up in 2028 until then we're kinda f*cked on that front unfortunately. We need strong Candidates in '26 to run against Tillis and the other 💩heads in Congress and our state legislature.

If Dems flip #CA45 & #CA13, then the U.S. House majority will have literally come down to the 3 NC the GOP flipped thanks to its new gerrymander.
And that itself hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.
Coincidentally I just wrote this today: boltsmag.org/state-suprem...
