[ECOLOG-L] Monarchs and Wind Turbines

[Laura L]

Hello.  I am a recent graduate with an MS in biology.  I and currently 
doing mortality searches for birds and bats at a wind turbine facility.  I 
am curious if anyone has researched the impact of turbines on Monarchs.  I 
know they often fly at relatively high altitudes while migrating.  Has any 
research been done in this area, or has there been a noticeable drop in 
their population correlated to the growth of wind facilities?
