"Hundreds of thousands of migrating birds, including many rare species, have been slaughtered by wind turbines along the shores of Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario."

We have an ornithologist friend who works to get the buildings downtown to turn off their lights during migration season.  He is one of the people who go out and pick dead birds up off the sidewalks in the mornings, after they have killed themselves flying into the glass.

Whenever the topic of turbines killing birds comes up, he just groans.   It is an urban myth cooked up by the oil companies.  Wind turbines kill virtually no birds.
