Alle-Catt Wind had to admit at least 41 bald eagles will die inside their wind complex in Western New York. Cornell University will earn around $2 million dollars as a “mitigation payment” to offset the dead eagles. The eagle carnage is based off estimates drawn from carcasses that are “found” at these complexes. Oftentimes, the carcass is launched outside of the “search radius” that the company must do below. That’s if the company is searching at all. It’s been reported in other states that parts of the raptors are sold into black markets. These turbines will kill more than 41 eagles in their lifetimes. This is just one wind complex in our state. With an estimated 1,000 bald eagles in New York, all it would take is about 15 ORES wind complexes to wipe them off the map. Looks like the first eagle deaths are closer than one would believe from the video below.
