An interesting aspect is that wind turbines generate infrasound which
some bird hear much better than us. So a pigeon might be able to hear
a wind turbine from several kilometres away - not that this implies any
environmental impact as a consequence.
One would also assume it would be less likely for a pigeon - or an OBP -
to have an impact the turbine...
Infrasound is not an issue with modern wind farms where the turbine blades
are upwind of the tower (all of those I've visited in Australia.)
I think at this point, this discussion would be best taken off-list;
visiting an existing wind farm is likely to be more informative than
quoting Rayleigh numbers etc.
