well found, thanks for sharing. little things here and there all helping.

Thanks for this, Andy. Hopefully more cities will catch on to this, as well as residential homes.

So far, I've only found one window-killed bird at my house. Ironically, this American Robin wasn't killed by the house, but on the window of a parked car! I think my low numbers are for a few reasons. First, many of our windows have a screen on half of the surface. Second, there are no windows facing SW or NE, the path that many birds take over the house. Third, I imagine I've missed a few to scavengers before daylight, in addition to not checking frequently.

I was really glad to see many raptor silhouettes on the glass sound barriers on a highway in Greece last May.

The issue is really not that expensive to fix. I think it mostly needs more awareness.

Thanks again for posting this.
