National bird advocacy group targets Niagara County wind turbine project
SOMERSET, N.Y. (WIVB) — A project by Apex Clean Energy to erect wind turbines in Niagara County has fallen under the radar of the American Bird Conservancy.
According to the group, a vast number of migratory songbirds and raptors rely on the area to breed and find food. The group says putting up 570-foot-tall structures will see many birds die when they collide with the new turbines.
The group suggests it’s one of the top 10 worst locations for a planned turbine site in the nation currently, and has urged Apex Clean Energy to look elsewhere.
It’s not yet clear if their voices have been heard, or if the allure of the breeze off Lake Ontario is simply overwhelming it.
The American Bird Conservancy says Apex continues to move forward with its studies as it makes a case to build.

Why not use cork screw wind turbines as opposed to oversized propeller turbines ?
I agree, Billy….and put them in the cities, where the energy is used. Do not destroy our rural communities! Bird migration corridors are littered with horrible bird-chopping machines!
