Stop the Cedar Flats Wind Project | Protect South-West Oxford & Malahide
Below are trusted tools and data sources that help illustrate why the proposed Cedar Flats Wind Project poses a serious threat to wildlife. These links offer live maps, migration data, and independent research that back our case for a pause and full scientific review.
Tool Name: BirdCast Migration Dashboard
Description:
A real-time tool that shows bird migration intensity and direction across North America — powered by radar data and meteorological models. It’s an essential source for understanding how the Cedar Flats zone intersects with critical migration corridors.

Why it matters:
The Cedar Flats region is part of the Eastern Flyway, used by hundreds of migratory species. Industrial wind turbines in this corridor increase mortality for birds like:
Purple Martins
Bobolinks
Eastern Meadowlarks
Barn Swallows
Tool Name: Great Lakes Avian Radar & Airspace Decision Support Tool
Description:
Developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, this tool identifies bird and bat concentration areas within the Great Lakes basin — including Southern Ontario.

Why it matters:
South-West Oxford and Malahide sit within key migratory pathways. Wind energy development without this data puts wildlife at avoidable risk.
