No, I haven't. I don't doubt there are some wind turbines along the coast. I'm sure it will be a lot easier to put them in TX than in WA. Are there any wind turbines along the Pacific coast up there? Should be, right?

BTW the coast of TX is a very important migratory bird flyway. Most of the hummingbirds east of the Rockies migrate through coastal TX. Ditto for Monarch butterflies.


And many raptors:
Braodwinged hawk:

There are over 300 species of neoarctic-neotropical birds that pass through coastal TX each year. People travel from all over the US to see them.


Other bird species winter along the TX coast. Like whooping cranes and sandhill cranes.


But no problem, birds rank below wind turbines.
