I live near a big wind farm and they are getting flack from bird lovers over a few dead birds -- more flack than is necessary, I think. But the blades are just white, whole length. If they painted the last half of the blades some different color, maybe the birds would avoid them better. And, we have to keep the whole thing realistic. There are not huge mounds of dead birds piling up to be removed by bulldozers. Just a few here and there. I think Organ builder has the right idea.

When stationary this is not much problem. When they turn this can be confusing - Perhaps a color would help. The blades must turn. The idea is to make them more visable to birds color reception. At night - That is another story altogether. Most blades are white. When stationary this is not much problem. When they turn this can be confusing – Perhaps a color would help. The blades must turn.
