Applying the Sage-Grouse Fence Collision Risk Tool to Reduce Bird Strikes.

摘要

New studies document the susceptibility of North American prairie-grouse to collision with fences. Fence collision was attributed to 40 percent of mortality for lesser prairie-chickens in Oklahoma, and fence-collision rates of 0.64 strikes/mile were reported for sage-grouse in Idaho. Bird collision with human structures is common, and European science reports cite grouse among the most common infrastructure-collision victims.
