At the current estimated mortality rate, the wind industry will be killing 900,000 to 1.8 million birds per year

Unfortunately not proven. There are no numbers to back that up except for some extrapolations at a couple wind farms around the world.

I suggest you check out the Audubon website. They have a lot of information on bird and bat interfaces with wind turbines.
