Birds fried by solar panels.

Resident birds such as nighthawks and migrant species including yellow warblers have been feasting on caterpillars grasshoppers dragonflies beetles bees and wasps though far more bugs get. The bright blades and lights in turbines and solar panels actually attract birds and the insects they eat. There is growing evidence that birds flying in the vicinity of a solar thermal power project in california s mojave desert are being injured and even killed either by the solar heat that s focused. So why is this happening.

Workers at a state of the art solar plant in the mojave desert have a name for birds that fly through the plant s concentrated sun rays streamers for the smoke plume from birds that ignite in. Well it s mainly due to the plant s overall design and location. The sight of a bird being fried to death is so common at the ivanpah solar plant in california s mojave desert that workers have nicknamed the smouldering birds streamers because they leave tiny wisps of white smoke behind as they burn up in the sky. But that hypothesis is from a human perspective.

Every species of bird.
