Wind turbines are notorious bird killers. In the name of green energy, a study was conducted to reduce harm to these flying beasts. It is thought that blade color can either attract or detract insects, in turn attracting or detracting birds and bats. The study was conducted to determine if blade color influenced fatality counts. Four different wind farms around the country took part in the study and location of the farm may have an impact on bird availability. At each farm, wind turbines were randomly assigned to have blades of white, purple, or yellow. At the end of the study, number of bird’s strike were recorded.   f) identify the experimental units and state how many if known. g) Outline the design
