Like much statistical analysis there are some details that might not be well captured. Much of the opposition to wind power based on bird deaths is caused by the Altamont Pass facility which is placed in a golden eagle breeding area and has significantly disrupted that species. There could be similar risks here if generating equipment like this were to be used in sensitive marine habitats such as the Monterey Bay. It will probably be worth ongoing study to avoid potentially serious problems that broad statistical analysis may not catch.
