Re: Davis Besse operating license renewal Briana, I need to talk with one of our bi ologist who does most of the bird work. I know that having the lights on continuous instead of flashing doe s help reduce bird collisions and by the information you included these collisions have been reduced. Af ter I find out if there are any other avoidance or minimization measures I will give you a call so we can discuss this further. It will probably be next week. As I will be in the field most o f the rest of this week.

As you will see, I concluded "not likely to adversely affect" for the long-eared bat, but "may affect" for the red knot due to the potential for collision with plant structures. Given the "may affect" conclusion and the fact that the red knot is a proposed species at this time, I am not sure what the appropriate path forward will be. Maybe we can talk after you read the assessment? Thanks, Briana ______________
