Using more than a wing and a prayer: Company aims to cut raptor deaths with technology, people
November 8, 2013 /
An operations center in California can shut down wind turbines 1,200 miles away in Montana in fewer than 30 seconds when the flight patterns of golden eagles and other raptors indicate a potential collision in the making.
The quick response is possible because of tracking radar, "detect and deter" cameras and human spotters called "bio-monitors" deployed at Rim Rock Wind Facility in Montana’s Glacier and Toole counties.
