Bird Kills at Towers and Other Man-Made Structures: An Annotated Partial Bibliography (1960-1998) is an on-line bibliography created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of Migratory Bird Management. It contains 125 citations, 83 of which have been published since 1980 and 24 of which are linked to Internet sites. This site has links to articles on towerkills in the popular press. | |||
