It's a weird feeling.<br /><br />Since birds see differently than us humans, I wonder if the UV protectant coating on our new windows has anything to do with the increased bird hits. I'm not sure I'll order those stickers; there seems to be mixed reviews about their effectiveness. <br /><br />Bob, young birds, huh?<br /><br />Murr, your latest post is way too funny! Interesting about your captcha being "nestskin" - sometimes I question how they're generated since they often seem appropriate.<br /><br />Max, thanks for the link. I've been curious to know how your adventure ended.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-6528845417718841602011-11-05T20:14:58.742-07:002011-11-05T20:14:58.742-07:00This has happened to me a few times over the years...This has happened to me a few times over the years.

The truth is I know is that I really didn't have much to do with their making it. If they break their little necks or the concussion too great, nothing can be done. Fortunately I have had more survivors than deaths. Hopefully they get the message across to their little feathered friends "Steer clear of that big shiney thing".John @ Beans and I on the Loosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185975793295220723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-2333752326094858502011-11-03T05:29:39.390-07:002011-11-03T05:29:39.390-07:00Sad times.

Putting up stickers or silhouettes on the window helps a little, but can never reduced the fatalities to zero. Larger birds must catch more of their own reflections and so stand a better chance or reacting in time (whilst leaving amazing wing prints), but the wee fellas just seem to fly into the next world :o(Imperfect and Tensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348507012722069785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-10588338885663669842011-11-03T01:49:43.195-07:002011-11-03T01:49:43.195-07:00It seems to happen all the time, I have witnessed ...It seems to happen all the time, I have witnessed in loads and loads.
