“The Audubon Society believes cell towers would seriously damage wildlife habitat by causing forest fragmentation. The group said that cell towers are also a hazard to migrating birds.”

An individual wind turbine is far, far worse than a cell tower. Thousands of wind turbines are thousands of times again worse.

Cliffs! Birds fly right into them and that’s it.

You've got that right . . . particularly where wind turbines are massed along major flyways as is often the case because that is the direction wind is channeled and they are located there for that reason.

Any bird killing itself by flying into a stationary cell tower is so rare that it is probably just improving the gene pool for the species.

You are absolutely right. There are thousands of birds and bats killed every year in this huge wind farm in Ontario, and not a peep about it from environmentalists.

Wind turbines cause bird fragmentation. No theory or guessing required.
