Apologies if the images didn't transmit. Some folks responded asking for
images and I guess this listserv doesn't allow attachments. Anyway photos
of signage in question are linked below

Subject: Ottawa NWR Strange Prairie disturbing sponsorship!
To: Ohiobirds <[log in to unmask]>


On my way back to Cleveland from meetings in Ann Arbor yesterday I stopped
by Strange to see what I could see and I saw dozens and dozens of Tundra
Swans, 18 Snow Geese, and 9 Sandhill Cranes which was glorious BUT seeing
that Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) a major natural gas pipeline operator
and multiple environmental justice violator, including Dakota Access
Pipeline or DAPL, was being allowed to greenwash itself by sponsoring the
prairie signage was disturbing and to my mind inexcusable. We and the
wildlife deserve better from our federal and state agencies than to allow
bad actors to cloak themselves in perfunctory sponsorships!!!
