Wind turbines at the Altamont Pass Wind
Resource Area (APWRA) in California, kill more birds of
prey than any other wind facility in North America. Due
to its location on a major bird migratory route, Altamont
Pass wind turbines kill an estimated 881 to 1300 birds
of prey each year, including golden eagles, red-tailed
hawks, burrowing owls, American kestrels, great horned
owls, ferruginous hawks and barn owls. These kills are
in violation of federal and state wildlife protection
laws. Visit
