Avalon - Missing from the recent article about opposition to wind farms is the following: In addition to the damage to ocean mammals, wind farms cause significant damage to birds. The wind farm sites are located directly in the Atlantic Flyway, an airspace that 500 bird species (both shore birds and sea birds) use for migration. Much of the Atlantic Flyway is over or close to the Atlantic Waters of the East Coast. The Audubon Society and the US Fish & Wildlife Service acknowledge wind turbines already kill up to 500,000 birds per year.
