    Here is a link to a paper recently published where modeling has been employed to estimate annual bird kills at each of the communication towers in the USA and Canada.

    It is a pity that the author of the article cited, Marlene Condon, was not more concerned about the tens, if not hundreds of millions of birds that are killed every year in the USA by birds hitting buildings and other man-made structures (US Fish and Wildlife Service figures)

    But then, one should never let facts get in the way of a good story.

    Cheers,
