Natural Sounds at risk

Natural sounds

What a beautiful day it was today. As I stood in my back yard in the unseasonably warm sun, feeding the chickadees that come to my hand for sunflower seeds, I listened to all the sounds of early winter. The chickadees, blue jays and crows chattered and cawed. Occasionally there was the twitter from American Goldfinches. I could hear the wind very gently whisper through the trees and in the background the constant sound of waves on the beach which is about 400m from me.

I wonder if I will still be able to discern such delightful sounds over the whooshing of wind turbines?
