There is probably no way to design a way to keep all of the birds from
hitting the windmills.   There probably is no perfect solution.  At the same
time a letter writer to the Mercury News from Stanford pointed out that the
bird kills by windmills is very small compared to all bird kill for example
from windows.

I certainly have a hawk that flies past my bird feeder several times a day
to run birds into the windows and stun them.   This appears to be the
primary hunting technique of that hawk.
