Another silly article about windmills killing birds with no hard evidence, and no reference to other causes, nor how well the overall bird population is doing... And as Ima suggested, if there were a proper study done, you'd probably discover most birds do better in non-polluted air. |

Exactly how many eagles have been found tits up under a windmill? Until we know that, we can only assume this concern is driven by big oil and coal.it there is in fact a large gaggle of eagles killed and threatening the survival of the species, I say better them than us. |

Some need to get informed about "studies" and quit diverting. |

Here is just one study and even the government admits windmills kill birds. What a big duh to even have to post this. http://savetheeaglesinternational.org/new/us-windfarms-kill-10-20-times-more-than-previously-thought.html |

From yur link. This i s miniscule compared to other factors. But this is shy of reality by a factor of ten, because 90% of casualties land outside the search perimeter and are not counted. We are thus really talking about an unsustainable death toll of 30 million birds and 50 million bats a year – and more still if we factor in other hide-the-mortality tricks documented by STEI. |

You quoted part of the article that says more birds are killed than they counted. DUH Sorry but that is funny. |

The number was very small, counted or uncounted, compared to the number of birds killed just by ferrel cats. |
