The studies done by orgs in FL were not restricted to sites in FL. I was being brief in my citation. Bird behavior is not limited to states. They are migratory, as you may discover. Windmills and other towers are located in other places than SW MN. You should actually look up actual studies, as I did when previously involved effects of towers and other "light pollution". Your opinions seem unfounded.

I do not find the comparison valid. Much more concentrated movement through Florida.

Lights are required aircraft warnings on power towers, airport towers, windmills, radio and TV towers, tall buildings, and so on. The type of tower makes little difference.
