Songbird ID help please - Maine USA (1 Viewer)

[MGStair]

This bird flew into our window pane this morning and unfortunately did not survive. We have been unable to identify it.

It measures approximately 5"/12.5cm, is gray with a brown & black cap, and a white breast streaked with dark spots.

We are located in southern Maine, USA, not far from the coast.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Windows can be secured for the benefit of birds in a variety of ways. If you want to know more about it, have a look at pages 18-19 (20-21) and at Acopian BirdSavers — Prevent birds from flying into windows.

Ah yes. Thank you.

 

[MGStair]

Thanks. We'll look into this!

Actually, simple light-coloured curtains placed just behind should work just as well, see page 15 (= 17) and 33 (= 35).
