Catch the Eagles in a Net So Wind Turbines Do not Kill Them

   The solution to Bald Eagles being killed by wind turbines seems simple.  Put up a fish net in front of the wind turbine. The net catches the eagles. Then, you need to pull the birds clear from the suction of the wind mill, so have the nets based on rollers that take the birds back far enough that they can fly free on their own. 

   Giving catch-and-release a new meaning. 

   The idea would need to be tested. Perhaps it would all come to naught as once they flew free from the netting, they would simply slip right over it and right back into the wind turbine.

   But, try the idea. See if it works. Wind turbines can be very helpful, but we do not want to kill Bald Eagles.
