A third Ladder-backed Woodpecker hit one of our high windows this week while we were home. This last one was lucky enough to recover and fly away. We usually keep seasonal window clings on our windows, but we were late getting the winter set up. These will stay up permanently. They are prismatic, anti-collision decals put on with only distilled water.
I will wash the lower windows later and use prismatic snowflakes. Living in a house with a lot of glass and not many blinds is hazardous for our flying friends.
I am relieved to have this task completed. I ordered these from Amazon. Look for the term “anti-collision.”

We keep a shoebox handy. A dazed bird will often recover if placed in a dark shoebox for a few minutes. Enfolding in hands is an emergency alternative.

We will think they are until we know they are not.

We have snowflakes and I do believe they have made a considerable difference. So hope yours work too!

It is so sad to watch a beautiful bird die right in front of you because of your windows. The last bird hit really hard but recovered. I hope these do the trick to reduce the trauma. Thanks Cathy.
