A new Audubon Society report on birds and power transmission lines pushes for a clean energy grid, but warns the buildout could harm birds. Yet the report contends collaborative planning can create a symbiotic relationship between those pushing for clean energy and others seeking to protect bird species.

The National Audubon Society kicked off its annual bird count Wednesday — a program that helps experts understand how birds respond to climate change.

Many birds are in trouble nationwide. A 2019 study published by Cornell found that bird populations have declined 30% since 1970. That's nearly three billion birds.
