Thanks for the brain typo.

No worries on the wind turbines — Long Island’s got you covered. The Empire Wind project is currently under construction. With up to 130+ towers, its 80,000 acres of coverage 15-30 miles south of Long Island in the New York Bight will surely wreak havoc on migrating seabirds.

Another winner for the birds are building that remain lit at night killing millions of migrant songbirds annually.
