Avian and Bat Assessment at the Lewes Wind Turbine University of Delaware College of Earth, Ocean and Environment

Abstract

This report supplements the previous interim project report submitted in May 2012 of our larger project to assess the post-construction wildlife impacts of the University of Delaware wind turbine in Lewes, DE. For this report, we present the results from March 2012 through October 2012 carcass search effort component that documents the number and identity of bird and bat species that fatally collide with the wind turbine and estimates collision fatality rate of flying birds and bats during 2012.
