I blogged the other day about the decals we have on the windows to help the birds avoid striking the glass. There’s a grove of trees to the north of the house, and their reflection in the windows lures the birds into thinking there is an escape route where there is actually window. I’m sure one of the hawks has learned to use the windows to his advantage when hunting near our feeder.
\nI was mistaken about the source of our decals. A friend gave two sample packages to Dear Husband, and it turns out they were being distributed by the Morton Arboretum, in the western suburbs of Chicago. The good news is, I kept the packaging, so I can share the manufacturer!
