Mike,

If you're on the Tweeters mailing list I'm sure you've already considered this, but to the newer birders I want to offer some websites that have ideas on how to prevent birds striking your windows. I know there's no perfect answer to this problem, and won't pretend it is entirely preventable, but there are options to consider.
