A little while ago, a volunteer found a dead white-throated sparrow. Because it had no marks on it, as if attacked by a predator, and because it was near the building, I concluded it had struck the window. This illustrates the problems that even small windows can present for birds who see the reflection of trees, sky, etc, and think they can fly through. Sandy and I discussed this and I suggested ribbons outside the window, because the best thing to do is to break up the reflection by having something moving across the window surface. In the past I had hung used CDs in the windows, but some viewed them as very un-aesthetic and I guess they were! Sandy bought the ribbons, and Erma, Isabelle and Barbara devised the design and installed them on every window and they look great! Very festive.
