Fw: [IBLE] Killer Windows

["james.d.mcintyre" <james dot d dot mcintyre at worldnet dot att dot net>]

  I am forwarding this message from IBLE and a reply (from Norway) as it 
will be of interest to Utah bird lovers as well.  The product consists 
of decals that you paste on windows.  They are hardly visible to us but 
seem to glow to birds because their eyes have much greater UV light 
sensitivity.

  Hi: I got a new yard bird yesterday, the hard way.  A small bird 
  crashed into my dining room window.  It then made it to the fence, 
  where it recuperated and flew off after about ten minutes.  It was a 
  MacGillivray's Warbler, a gorgeous male.

  But I have a question.  That window has now killed two young Bullock's 

  Orioles (last fall) and a Black-Chinned Hummingbird (last summer).  
  Robins, House Finches, and Juncos have all knocked into it, stunning 
  themselves.  Only the Orioles and the Hummer have died, but that's 
  three birds too many.

  Is there a solution that anyone knows of?  Do window stickers do 
  anything to provide something for the birds to focus on?

  Thanks,

  Nick Miller
