Results of bat and bird mortality at the expanded Buffalo Mountain windfarm, 2005
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.
