PPLLOOOOOFFFFFfffffffftt!!
Alfred Hitchcock was a smart fellow.
He made 'The Birds' before they became instinct.
Maybe we need a sequel..
The Angry Birds: Payback
And the civil / criminal penalties will be enforced... when... ?
Yawn.
Idiocracy, the article.
Nobody learns the rudiments of the food chain in elementary school science classes anymore. Strike that. Journalism no longer allows people who understand the rudiments of science to be anywhere near the process of writing articles which might pertain to science.

'Impacts' in this case could be a double entendre. lol
The law of unintended consequences in action. Same for Obamacare and all Federal laws.
Wait till the wind farms kill off the last of the Condors, then Cali can make lead ammo legal again, bet they won’t.
My instinct is, the word "extinct" was the word intended.
We have been feeding and caring for wild birds for over 20 years. We have tracked over 40 species of birds throughout the seasons since then. The last two years have seen a huge decline in all our black bird species both here and on the marsh plains peppered throughout Washington state. We haven’t seen a bat in years. Washington State has also lined the Columbia Gorge Plateau (both sides) with miles and miles of ugly wind turbines. Our oh so green, Avista Utilities Company, completed a huge wind turbine project on the plains outside of our city. The end result of fewer and fewer migratory birds that use the routes blanketed in wind turbines, speaks for itself.
We need to start a campaign:
Harvest the Poultry!
Have the govt hire folks to move it for processing and distribution to victims of the Baraqqi Depression.
Because publications never, EVER, publish studies that have surprising results. ANYTHING in print MUST be low-balling, right?
Yeah, this article will contain NO bias whatsoever. /sarc>
Don’t worry, they just banned lead bullets for hunting. That was a far worse problem for wildlife than these useless windmills.
Idiots.
