Highlights:

• We estimate bird mortality at monopole wind turbines in the contiguous U.S.
• Between 140,000 and 328,000 birds are killed annually at monopole turbines.
• Mortality increases with increasing height of monopole turbines.
• Mortality rates appear to be lower in the Great Plains relative to other regions.

An older article but very relevant to today's bird mortality.

2.9 Billion Bird Deaths Linked to Solar, Wind

[This_Dude]

I repair wind turbines for a living. I never see dead birds surrounding the turbines. HOW are they dying exactly?

[The Great RJ]

Bald eagles and other endangered or threatened bird species are almost certainly in this count of bird deaths from wind turbines. Imagine any other type of project, especially a conventional power plant, that would ever get environmental approvals for construction projecting this kind of damage to bird life. Obviously environmentalists are looking the other way when these approvals are given.

[Dr.Deth]

These are the days where “environmentalists” want to choke plants by limiting the CO2 they breathe, and kill birds with giant sky cuisinarts.

[Osage Orange]

I live in an area that has many Wintering Eagles....

Some are year round....

The closest wind field was given an exemption..or a quota?? Of how many Bald Eagles...it could kill every year.

I kid you not!!

[Osage Orange]

Not to mention what it’s doing to the bat population.

“Wind energy has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels”

When the first half of the first sentence is a lie, you don’t need to read the rest.

[familyop]

It must be an interesting job, counting the birds that are sucked into those wind turbine vortexes.

[1FreeAmerican]

I suppose this means there will be a lot less bird sh!t in the world.

[Albion Wilde]

these studies do not differentiate between turbines with a monopole tower and those with a lattice tower, the former of which now comprise the vast majority of all U.S. wind turbines and the latter of which are largely being de-commissioned.
