The growth in the eagle population was six less than the year before. Growth, not population. No one knows the number of birds killed by turbines, nor of eagles, but it's far more than 6. In a 2013 study, agency biologists found that the number of eagles killed by wind turbines increased to 24 in 2011 from two in 2007. During the study period, the agency documented 85 eagles that had been killed by wind turbines. And that's nearly a decade ago.
Plenty of Eagles near me. It’s a rare day that I don’t see at least one. (SW corner of Wisconsin, heading to The Mighty Mississippi.)
