Type "birds wind turbines" into a google search bar to start. The
Wikipedia page has some useful info and citations.

Does anyone know how the industrial wind turbines (nearly 500 ft
tall) are affecting bird populations?
Have there been studies?
There are over 3,500 of these turbines either build and/ or planned
in Southern Ontario alone.
Most are near the Great Lakes along migration routes and near
wetlands.
Thanks,

Many birders now enter such count data into eBird, a powerful,
citizen science, online database sponsored by The Cornell Lab of
Ornithology and Audubon. Check it out at http://www.ebird.org/.

Hi
I go to the wetland area at the Yolo Causeway near Davis (in
between Davis and Sacramento) - large wetland area with my
children. Yesterday I saw a lot of pelicans there and bird
watchers who seem to be making a count. I was wondering if there
is a data bank somewhere with all of these counts, especially for
example in the wetlands and coastal areas? So as to see patterns
of the counts over time etc. The pelicans we saw were the American
white pelicans, but I have been told some brown pelicans have been
there too. The Yolo - Davis wetland area is about 80 miles from
the nearest coastline.
Thanks.
