"According to the Associated Press, up to 28,000 birds per year might be meeting an early death after burning up in the focused beams of sunlight, with birds dying at a rate of one bird every two minutes. The burned-up birds are being dubbed "streamers," after the poof of smoke produced by the igniting birds."
Someone needs to check their math. There are about 525,000 minutes in a year, so a death every two minutes would be more than 262,000 a year, not 28,000.

But the sun only shines during the day.
