 Oh, please !
 It's more anti-tower tripe.
 Yes, *some*  birds end up deceased at tower sites, be they lattice
 radio towers, light poles, fire towers, and/or water towers.
 I've seen a few. ( never more than a half-dozen at any site, ever )

 The claims about thousands of dead birds has about as much validity
 as the claims of 50K + per year from second-hand smoke.
 Lies, and damned lies.

 Accurate, provable claims would go much, much further toward promoting
 both causes than this blatant fabrication.
