With cats, vehicles and buildings it's something like 100 million annually while wind turbines it's like 100-400k.
So, not just way more but 200-500x more.
With eagles the numbers killed are in order of hundreds.
Newer wind turbine designs also reduce the number of bird deaths considerably.
The scale of the problem is clearly small, relatively speaking. It would be ignored under normal circumstances, just like the #1 and #2 deaths for eagles currently are, but the carbon industries gave this story some great PR.
