	Bird lovers sue over 7 utility towers - The Honolulu Advertiser
		During nesting season, the birds are active at night, flying out from their inland burrows before dawn to forage at ocean feeding areas and returning after sunset.
		The lawsuit says towers pose "a substantial risk of collision and death to these birds, particularly young fledglings," since the night fliers can't see the structures, guy wires and utility lines, or they can become disoriented by lights associated with the towers.
		The towers — five on the Big Island, two on Kaua'i — were built between 1996 and 2001 at heights of 200 to 420 feet, each in an area where shearwaters or petrels are known to fly, the lawsuit says.
