Birds ?????

[Raven]

scientists are testing birds that have migrated
to alaska for bird flu this week and they will be testing
over 100,000 birds.

Birds banging into windows is because from a birds perspective
the window reflects a "perfect image" (in the morning sunlight)
of the trees and the background
and being swift and adept fliers capable of weaving
thru holes in the bushes and trees makes them
think the window is a hole thru... so they fly
into windows because they appear to be thru-ways.

i'll betcha the windows are on the shaded side of the house.

i rescue many unconscious birds before the neighbors cats find-em
and keep an extra bird cage handy just for that purpous.
last year i got two prized visitors that way...a black and white warbler..and a ruby crowned kinglet....birds i would never ever hold in my hand unless it was dead...and would very rarely see except thru binoculars and then ..they are constantly on the move...
so i welcome the bird crashing into my window sound actually...
been -> getting several a day....but no knockouts recently.
