I'd be interested to see if turbines are more likely to kill certain types of birds because of where they are located." There is ample information about this. Wind turbines located near Sparrows kill more Sparrows than Eagles. Wind turbines around Eagles will kill more Eagles than Sparrows.
ABC and Audubon have endorsed the AWEA after turbine location analysis were required to utilize migratory pattern information and undergo conservancy assessment as well. This was in 2006.
There's actually a lot of activity involved with protecting birds near turbines. From the Audubon Society:
"The most advanced and widespread technologies are those that use radar and GPS to detect incoming flocks and turn off the turbines in time for the birds to fly through"
Much of this stems from the Altamont Pass wind farm, which was built in a migratory zone and with a blade type that has been abandoned. Wind Turbine regulation is in the Migratory bird Treaty Act:
