This stuns the prey and they drop to the ground, suitable for Mr. Hawk to swoop down and pick up. I'm lucky enough to have a living room with floor to ceiling windows on 3 sides and an expansive meadow on the perimeter of the yard. I've seen this played out daily for 11 years.

Which is why orgznizations like Audubon have called for switching off the lighs of these floors at night. Johnny would not eat them as they have too many feathers for him to deal withCarinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060719708064081485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-86595255584305841792017-02-23T07:23:42.092-07:002017-02-23T07:23:42.092-07:00You're going to have to stop keeping your wind...You're going to have to stop keeping your windows so clean.

Certain times of the year reflections in that window created from the surrounding trees apparently "camouflage" the glass and the poor birds think they are flying into the trees. It's VERY loud when they hit, and we've only found a few (over my 20 years there) on the outside entry. Unfortunately, years ago one broke a section of the window and made it into the office. My poor boss had to capture it and get it back outside...and board up the window until it could be fixed.Rita B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03508252090653732674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-66072922888898368322017-02-23T06:06:53.938-07:002017-02-23T06:06:53.938-07:00JCC is a full-time predator.

Not that my windows are that clean, but they dive bombed it constantly, til it looked like a total massacre on my front porch! Blood and bodies everywhere ... ugh! As suddenly as they started this stupidity, they stopped, and I was so thankful.
