11 a.m. ET Wind farms can impact birds through collisions. Collision rate models have been developed to estimate the perceived risk to birds and the potential number of collisions within proposed wind farms. These models combine our understanding of bird behavior with the characteristics of the proposed turbines and wind farm layout to assess the likelihood of any bird colliding with a turbine. Join Mark Collier, Bureau Waardenburg, and Aonghais Cook, British Trust for Ornithology, for a discussion of the modeling.
