Please sign the attached petition. We all know the importance of this island to migrating raptors and passerines as well as wintering owls. Wolf Island next door is the home of a wind farm and had been documented as one of the most devastating to birds with so many raptors killed there. We can't allow Amherst to go down as well. Our friends to the north thank you. John
