Mass
Audubon’s testimony on Cape Wind:  

Reference File No. NAE-2004-338-1, EOEA No. 12643:

“By utilizing other bird mortality data provided in the DEIS, Mass Audubon
staff scientists arrived at avian mortalities that ranged from 2,300 to 6,600
collision deaths per year.”

Does the National Wildlife Federation support up to 6,600 avian mortalities per year by Cape Wind, or up to 6,600 violations of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act by Cape Wind per year? 

Thank You,

Barbara Durkin
