Glass on buildings, for example, accounts for an average of 599 million bird deaths annually, according to a 2015 study published in the Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics.  Car collisions account for nearly 200 million avian deaths per year.

Birds are also killed in other forms of energy production, according to Time.  A 2012 Bureau of Land Management memo estimated between 500,000 to 1 million birds die annually in oil fields.

You guys just look around on the interwebz until you find something you agree with.  The more you agree with it, the less likely you are to put any effort into finding out if it's true or not.  This is a common phenom known as Confirmation Bias.  Knowing you've got it is half the battle, and....  You've got it.

You NEED to be shown when your sources are biased.  Because, you obviously cannot be objective on your own.

Naturally there is no bias in what the FW/ICOMers post.
