Bird-tracking study reveals some migration paths cross areas slated for offshore wind farms

Researchers spent the past five years tagging more than 400 birds with tiny transmitters and watching their movements. The exercise has produced the most detailed picture to date of the territories crossed by three common species of seabirds.
