Raven geniuses: Four-month-old corvids have similar cognitive abilities to great apes at same age, study finds
Estimates of how many birds are killed by wind turbines in America every year vary from hundreds of thousands of birds to millions. Wind farm operators don't bother protecting all types of birds, and are only careful towards the most endangered species protected by environmental laws.to violating three counts of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act earlier this year, and admitted at least 150 bald and golden eagles had died across 50 of its 154 wind turbine farms across America since 2012.
IdentiFlight uses a mixture of computer vision techniques and convolutional neural networks in its attempt to detect protected avian life. The number of birds saved each year depends on the wind farm's location; some may be near migratory paths of specific species or near nesting sites. In Europe, IdentiFlight runs roughly five to six models to track different types of birds.
The company declined to discuss costs with us – as in, is this stuff actually effective enough to be worth the money – and pointed to a"IdentiFlight was created to facilitate the development and operation of the wind energy business by promoting the successful coexistence of avian wildlife and wind energy," a representative told"IdentiFlight can lessen the pressures upon wind farm developers and operators by providing a sophisticated tool to detect protected avian species and...
"The IdentiFlight Mission is to further growth of renewable energy by minimizing wildlife impacts while maximizing energy production. By empowering wind farm operators with highly targeted, informed and objective curtailment decisions, unnecessary and costly interruptions are avoided and conservation of protected species is achieved." ®

They're all good vultures Brent
Because eagles are an endemic species, while vultures work for Inland Revenue?
Gomez wholeheartedly approves of your message 🙂👍
