Now that the sparrows are beginning to come down from the north, it is time to think about ways to reduce collisions with windows at our homes or where we might work. To me, it appears that several species of sparrows are the most apt to fly into perceived bushes and trees when alarmed -- they can not see the glass on our windows...to them it looks like sky or vegetation. Most bird feed stores have products one can buy to hang on or in front of windows to reduce reflections. Or, try pulling shades, hanging wind chimes or whatever to be creative!
