Hello all, thread below reminded me that I'd wanted to share this news piece: Solar farms can host up to three times as many birds as crop fields - new research<https://theconversation.com/solar-farms-can-host-up-to-three-times-as-many-birds-as-crop-fields-new-research-249551?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=bylineblueskybutton&fbclid=IwY2xjawI9whxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHa14T8MYC5ws1r7ZqQkS1n6BX-jX4Pj9CjcZnnqGcuPnNtD6p8foRlmF9w_aem_JxYiU2gwx57U480GdLqLZQ> (via theconversation.com; includes a link to the paper<https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00063657.2025.2450392> by Joshua Copping et al (University of Cambridge) that presented the study.

This particular website was created in 2006 by a staunch denier of man-made climate change and it continues to support that case. Click on the drop down menus for "Climate TV", "Books", and "Everything Climate" to confirm that this remains its central purpose. There are no examples of eagles actually being killed in this article, not even an anecdote. The only articles it links to also also do not have any data, do not mention even a single eagle casualty, and are published by a second organization that specifically rejects climate change (CFact). It would be more persuasive to hear about the effects of wind power on eagles from a less biased source, particularly if there were data in support of any claims made.
