My view leaving for work this evening. Yep, the yellow death is back. They say that it is the stuff you can't see that irritates your body, and while that may be true when there's this much 'dust' in the air, it still isn't any fun to breathe outside.

Note, this is just from 10 pm last night. I'd pulled the truck in the garage to clean the windshield off as we're going on a trip Sunday and it was covered in bugs and I don't have time to wash the whole thing this weekend.

That is a good point but the total number does matter. We are still talking about as many as 1 billion birds killed in North America alone by human activity.

Agreed, I'm just pointing out that the oft cited "but cats!" claim to justify the relative lower overall death rate via wind turbines misses the mark, because cats aren't killing eagles, hawks, osprey, vultures, owls...etc. And it's large birds (mostly raptors) that make up the bulk of wind turbine mortality concerns.

I didn't bring bird deaths caused by animals into this because the bird deaths by turbine are due to human activities. Maybe focusing on habitat loss in general rather than blaming the avian genocide on wind turbines would be a better approach.
