The State of the Science on Land-Based Wind Energy and Birds The Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI) summarizes current research and strategies to address risks to birds.

" @audubon.org’s collaboration with wind projects in the Tehachapi Mountains of California resulted in experimentation with advanced technologies to detect #GoldenEagles & #CaliforniaCondors ...Since then, no Condors have been killed or injured at a wind project..."

The program has been successful as there are now 561 #CaliforniaCondors globally Condors had suffered from lead poisoning with the carcasses they consumed & their habitats have been threatened...This is now an international effort

#CaliforniaCondors sharing a moment. Critically endangered and on the edge of extinction in 1982, all 22 remaining ones were gathered into the San Diego Zoo for a captive breeding program. It was successful and now they're back in the wild.

California condor K6 opens up. It’s massive wings to capture the sun as it enters the canyon. Always amazing to capture one of the most rare birds/animals on the planet. #CaliforniaCondors #Birds #BirdsOfBlueSky #Arizona #VisitArizona #NavajoLand #NavajoBridge

Being able to see an endangered species like the California condor this is genuinely a treat.
