With more than 50,000 wind turbines in place across the U.S. ...Researchers estimate that 140,000 to 328,000 birds are killed every year in collisions with the turbines' spinning rotor blades and support towers

Only three to six birds per tower per year? Pull my other leg too.

Not every year. Every day. Wind turbines kill birds every day. Nothing comparable exists in the natural environment. Birds are attracted to high places. Turbine blades are bird magnets, especially for eagles and other raptors.
