Hi, ornithologist here.
Wind turbines kill an estimated 140,000-679,000 birds annually.
Fossil fuel power plants kill approximately 14.5 million birds annually.
Each year, oil spills kill between 800,000 & 3.5 million worldwide.
High rise collisions kill over 1 billion.

We visited a section of the Chesapeake thats losing land to sea level rise & worked with a very young loblolly pine growing in the sand along the beach.
This area was among the earliest places explored by settler John Smith in 1607 on expeditions/raids around the tributary rivers of Tsenacommacah.
