Re: same cel phone towers, different question
The birds are killed by running into the towers.. birds migrate at night and routinely collide with our tall structures. Hi-rise office and apartment buildings kill a lot of birds as well. Its tough being a bird in this world. Happy New Year and don't forget our feathered friends who make our lives much more interesting and magical!
just my own opinions and thoughts...

Howdy all,
Woke up this morning to the tail end of a news report stating that cel
phone towers kill some 4 million birds a year in the US, presumably from
the transmitted signal. Any truth to this or is this some weird web hoax
made manifest on radio? I personally can't believe that we wouldn't have
heard this because of all the enviro's out there that would be screaming
foul. (Yes I realize I just made a pun.)
Thanks,
