New study pinpoints birds of prey as hardest hit by wind farms

http://www.surfbirds.com/community-blogs/blog/2017/11/04/new-study-pinpoints-birds-of-prey-as-hardest-hit-by-wind-farms/



Quote: "A recent Nature article [see below] suggests that the high collision rates for raptors could also be due to their visual adaptions for hunting; they have a large blind spot directly in front of them which means that a wind turbine can catch them completely out of the blue."

Lack of Observed Movement Response to Lead Exposure of California Condors

http://sci-hub.bz/10.1002/jwmg.21378

Quote: "Our work suggests that the measurements we took of flight behaviors were not a
useful tool in predicting lead exposure in the mildly to moderately exposed birds we studied. Wild birds are
effective at hiding illness, especially condors who have a strong social hierarchy in which showing weakness is
a disadvantage."
