Other <br /> species of wildlife, songbirds, will probably be benefitted; cottontail <br /> rabbits and pheasants should not be negatively impacted. In general, I <br /> do not see how anyone could justify opposing this building from a <br /> wildlife standpoint. I have reviewed this information with Bob Ruff and <br /> he also feels that the negative impacts of this would be minimal. If <br /> there were negative impacts, there are probably positive things that you <br /> could do such as windbreaks, shrubs along field borders, feeding stations <br /> and so on that would more than overcome any negative impacts that you <br /> would have. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 0-4--14-1:1s ).. .2,,,,,j4,_•-i <br /> Orrin J.
