Human infrastructure, including buildings, communication towers, power lines, roads, stock tanks,and wind turbines are anthropogenic elements that may affect the survival of birds (e.g., Buchan et al.2022). For raptors, drowning in stock tanks and electrocution on power lines have been describedas agents of mortality as early as 1976 for stock tanks (Craig and Powers 1976) and 1922 for power lines (Hallinan 1922)
