Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wind turbines kill birds through collisions with their blades?

Yes. Multiple sources state that wind turbine blades kill birds through collisions, with Wikipedia and a Skeptics.SE answer citing annual US mortality figures and an Audubon article estimating 140,000 to 679,000 birds per year at US wind farms. Several other sources mention turbine collisions as a recognized hazard to birds.
