reports about a perceived problem of birds flying into radio/tv towers much to their death.

Please be concerned because even our 10-foot towers might be directly in the flight path to the birdbath.

Yet, I would be more concerned about wind-power generators whirling up where birds can’t see spinning-blades in high wind.

Safety Plan: we should paint and light our towers with those colors most visible to birds. Does anybody know what those colors are?
