Zero-Emission Fossil Fuels

And yes, wind turbines kill (according to some estimates) about 300 000 birds worldwide every year.  Out of a total bird population of 400 billion.  This is something under .0001%. Trust me - the bird population is in no danger.

What percentage of those killed are from an endangered species?

Assuming that endangered birds are neither more or less likely to be killed by wind turbines (petrels and condors are very likely, North African ostriches and Galapagos penguins not at all likely, so it averages out), and accepting 18000 as the number of bird species in the world (depending on what sort of taxonomist you are), the number of endangered birds killed worldwide by wind turbines is probably on the close order of 20.

For what it's worth, if it mean cheap, clean electrical power for everyone on Earth, I would gleefully strangle every last remaining California condor.
