where unwanted gases are burnt off,
but can you see the flame here?
the answer for me is no, and neither can birds like this red tailed hawk, the practise of burning the gas poses a potentially lethal threat to unsuspecting birds that
pass through it, larger birds have been found with singed wings, unable to fly
or fend for themselves, bird-watchers believe that smaller ones are simply
incinerated at the Kingsland Landfill flare, New Jersey, The Fish and Wildlife Service says the authority has already
followed through on some of its suggestions, like removing a number of possible
perches for birds around the flame, a local electric company has agreed to take
out or retrofit power lines and other equipment to make them less attractive to
migrating birds, finding a way to make the flare visible to birds is among the
other ideas officials say are being explored, the other question is, does this happen at other landfill sites where methane is burnt off rather than being collected?
