"Each year, millions of birds suffer fatal collisions with communications towers. The American Bird Conservancy and others recommend following voluntary guidelines for their installation.Owners of towers 150-350 ft. above ground level need to program non-flashing tower lights to synchronously flash with existing flashing tower lights."

The American Bird Conservancy has more information, and a "toolkit" for activism:
