Hi Tweeters and Chatters,
At several of our outdoor exhibits visitors view the displays through large plate glass windows. During migration we have had birds killed after flying into the glass, and have adhered raptor silhouettes to deter such incidences. We still have occasional casualties. Can anyone comment on their experience with the effectiveness of this device, or suggest ways to improve its use?
