As slowly as those big blades turn, I can’t understand how they kill so many birds.

I've wondered about this for a long time. The blades turn very slowly and eagles have incredible eyesight and are very manuverable. Probably BS from the animal rights crowd.

Power lines don’t move at all, and they kill lots of birds that fly into them.
