AB - In September of 2001, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) installed a modern wind turbine at the west end of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (PNGS). The Canadian Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in granting permission to OPG for the turbine, requested a year-long monitoring program to assess avian mortality and the possible impact of that turbine on bird populations. I prepared the monitoring program for OPG and, because of security considerations, ended up doing the monitoring through 2002. Quite apart from estimating bird mortality, I was able to make observations of bird behaviour in relation to the turbine. What follows is a summary of my observations near the wind turbine.
