Preventing Bird Window Collisions

It is estimated that millions of birds are killed by glass window collisions. Birds often cannot recognize reflective windows as barriers and subsequently fly into them. Identify problem windows, especially those greater than 6 feet, and reduce bird window collisions by:

Applying window decals, i.e. hawk silhouettes (no more than 4" apart vertically and 2" apart horizontally)
Attaching decorations on outside glass surface to break up reflection
Installing screens, awnings, or netting to buffer impact
Placing feeders within 3' or greater than 30' from windows*

*Consider placing your feeder either within 3 feet of a window - birds won't gain enough momentum to harm themselves when they strike, or greater than 30 feet - birds will be less likely to see the windows as pathways.

Here's a nifty window decal that shows transparent to our eyes, but solid to birds:
