Birds are igniting in midair due to a new form of solar energy.
California's energy commission is studying the issue of bird deaths at a new kind of solar plant in the Mojave Desert that works with concentrated sun rays.
The plant is owned by Google and two California energy companies.
BrightSource Energy and NRG Solar say they are studying methods of reducing bird deaths.

Workers at a state-of-the-art new solar plant have a word for the birds that fly over the plant’s five-mile field of mirrors, “streamers,” for the puff of smoke as the birds ignite in mid-air and fall singed to the ground.
