After moving into my first house last summer, I've had to deal for the first time with window strikes. As much as I like seeing birds up close, I'd rather it not be for the purposes of burying them. Alas, after losing a few warblers and other songbirds (and having many other close calls, including a Barred Owl and a Sharp-Shinned Hawk which were able to shake things off and fly away), I feel it's definitely time to do something with the windows.
My primary concern is effectiveness; my wife is also concerned and is willing to consider something so long as it doesn't detract from the views (the windows were one of the things she loved most about the house when deciding to buy it). Does anyone have experience with any particular type of decal (or something else?) that effectively detracts birds from flying into windows without being too much of an eyesore? I'm doing some research on my own but figured I'd seek any advice from those who might already have some feedback (good or bad) on particular products. Thanks in advance for anyone who might be willing to write me back. -Kyle Te Poel Stillwater Township ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
