Protecting Sandhill cranes


Tony Taber of Pacific Gas and Electric places one of about 700 bird flight diverters on power lines near the Sandhill Crane Preserve on Woodbridge Road west of Highway 5 on Friday. The glow-in-the-dark diverters hang from lines at about 80 feet apart and make the lines stand out in an attempt to prevent birds colliding with the lines.(Brian Feulner/News-Sentinel)
