I assume they have designed these in a way that doesn’t adversely impact migratory birds

Birds don’t fly at 3,000 feet.

Some very few do.
But “Windfarms hurt birds” is 90+% fossil fuel propaganda. Yes birds run into windmills, they also run into skyscrapers and houses and antennas and planes.
We should of course look for ways to mitigate that. We should not just pretend smokestacks do no harm and not develop renewable energy projects.

The tether / power transmission line does pass through potential flight paths, tho.
Still, I imagine the impact to be even less than ground-based turbines.
