June 28, 2007
by J. K. Fiedler, T. H. Henry, R. D. Tankersley, and C. P. Nicholson for Tennessee Valley Authority
The post-construction bird/bat mortality survey at the expanded Buffalo Mountain windfarm found an adjusted bat mortality rate of 63.9 bats/turbine/year. This figure is similar in magnitude to the bat mortality recorded in West Virginia (47.5 bats/turbine/year). Fewer bird strikes were recorded in this same survey.
