In the U.S., recent annual estimates of bird deaths due to:

Cats = 2.4 billion bird deaths

Collisions from building glass = 600 million bird deaths

Land wind turbines = <200,000 bird deaths

Some politicians claim wind turbines “kill all the birds.”

But… they’re not really worried about birds. Rather, they prefer we stick with oil & gas over renewable #energy.

@Sheril great summary. I'm always mesmerized by the fact that even within the academic community in ecology and ornithology, people who don't study this issue directly keep repeating this fallacy planted by the fossil fuel interests
