Fascinating, and troubling.  I'd have never thought about the PVC pipes being death traps to birds. 

 

I guess my old boss, a Nevada, Arizona, and Alaska explorationist employed by Phelps Dodge for decades, having staked many a claim by dropping wooden 4x4 posts out of helicopters (to be emplaced in the snow or the ground later, when weather or access would provide), would be intrigued. 

 

I still run in to some 4x4 wooden posts in Pioneers of southwest MT.

Just noted an article posted  today's Reno KTVU website that the BLM has decided to cap all those claim markers, posts and thingies that are killing all those birds.  Go BLM.  Anyone need a nice summer temp job?

Great to hear. We even have some in the neighbor hood here that are marking utilities and such. Have added a roll of duct tape on my walks. And when come across, simply tape the top. Wont last forever, but makes do in the meantime
