I HAD a job, but it was only a 6 month appointment. It was sad.
As for the lights, I believe it has to do with the color of the lights. Sodium vapor appears kind of yellow, a bit like sunlight in a fog (to a bird, I guess). Birds see things differently from humans. The wavelengths they can see surpass ours. But birds are NOT my area of expertise (if they were, I'd have hundreds of jobs working in the midwest! Damn waterfowl). I believe Dominion donated the lights to the school, and they'll work together to figure out a solution.

Your field is most important to this precious eco-system we call WV...It will be protected for future others by the committment you make today...
You let it addict you last summer...spend you life keeping it safe...
