>Readers can also help protect birds by taking a few simple actions. An easy one is to install window screens or eliminate window reflections with film or paint. The blame is on reflective windows? >(A 2014 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Smithsonian study found that between 365 million and one billion birds die each year across the U.S. as a result of window strikes.) That seems unreal. So I want to read said study. https://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/pdf/management/lossetal2014birdvehiclecollisions.pdf https://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/pdf/management/lossetal20... Oh wait... its cars hitting birds? Why did they seem to exclude this important detail? And the study clearly puts it that around 339 million is max? So the billion birds number is made up? This article also seems to dance around the actual problem? https://abcbirds.org/blog21/wind-turbine-mortality/ https://abcbirds.org/blog21/wind-turbine-mortality/ http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2018/ph240/scherr1/ http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2018/ph240/scherr1/ The massive increase in windmills is the source of death. Every single typical windmill will kill dozens of bird and bats every year. The gymnastics that OP is doing is to cover up the mass death by windmills.
