The American Bird Conservancy filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia June 26. The suit charges that the Interior Department has suppressed information about wind energy projects on federal lands and their impact on birds by failing to respond to numerous Freedom of Information Act requests. The agencies failed to provide information such as correspondence with wind energy developers and other information related to potential impacts on birds and bats, and bird and bath deaths at wind developments in 10 states.
