Not a strawman: older windmills not on stalks did kill birds, particularly raptors. It’s seemed pretty clear that since the stalk approach was adopted (probably not even with birds in mind, I suppose, people being people) that the birds were doing better: you could tell by just walking under them. But it’s worth doing studies like this to move from anecdote to data. And even better when they refute obsolete knowledge.
