Rycote now make these - not cheap, but incredibly effective: I now have a pair of ex-theatre DPA4061s taped to the outside of a window of our flat as we get visited quite often by a wonderfully vocal blackbird who sits on the railing and marks out his territory by singing lustily to the surrounding rivals. The recording I've linked to here is an example: the background noise is actually a very strong wind blowing through the leaves of a tall tree in the across the way, so you should have some idea of how blowy it was. Not a trace of wind blast on the DPAs with the Rycote Mini-Windjammers fitted, even with the big gust near the end of the file.
