Wind-energy-related bird deaths:
While it's difficult to pinpoint an exact annual number, wind turbines are known to kill bald eagles, with estimates ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred each year. One wind energy company was recently penalized for killing at least 150 eagles over a decade. Though not the primary cause of eagle deaths, wind turbines do pose a risk, especially in areas with high eagle populations or where turbines are poorly sited.
Oil-activitiy-related bird deaths:
Data directly linking bald eagle deaths to oil drilling operations themselves, excluding oil spills, is not readily available in the search results provided . However, the impacts of oil and gas drilling on bald eagle populations are primarily linked to habitat destruction and disruption, according to The Wilderness Society. Drilling projects can fragment or destroy critical habitat, disrupt migration routes, and isolate feeding and nesting sites
