CT Birders, There is a product called Collidescape, which is a film applied to the exterior of your window which smokes the glass from the outside but does not change your view. This is the "only" product I know that elimanates strikes. Plate glass kills billions of birds each year and is the number one cause of birds coming in injured to The Recovery Wing. As more and more land becomes devopled with homes, window collisions are only going to increase unless we alter the look of plate glass. Another suggestion is to move the bird feeders less than 3ft from your windows/home reducing the speed of a collision or moving them much, much farther away from the window. I recommend to anyone who gets more than a few strikes a year to please take preventive measures to reduce these collisions. Most birds do not survive the strikes, even birds who have some flight ability and seem to be okay can go on to die later. The most common cause of death is a fractured skull. If everyone on this list added up the number of birds that were killed by their windows, and all of us altered our glass to stop any further strikes, I bet we would make an impact on songbird populations in CT. Remember for every female killed, the young has most likely been orphaned or count the potential young that female could have added to her species. I currently have several females in rehab, all of who have brood patches, who struck windows, except for a wood thrush, no brood patch but another avoidable cause, cat caught. This time of year it becomes very evident to me depending upon species and what stage the eggs/nestlings are that when the female comes in most likely more birds will be impacted, meaning their young will die.
