so much death

For the third time in about a month a Hermit Thrush has crashed into the window and died instantly. This time I got to see it happen..... immediate death.
Seems like the poorly sighted individuals are being eliminated from the Thrush family; natural selection right in front of my eyes. Hopefully in a thousand years Thrushes will have stronger vision.

Your can go to the bird store and get decals for the window. They are non-permanent and they can be effective.
