Window decals save lives!







Look how reflective these windows are! Both resident birds and seasonal migrants have fallen prey to these windows that appear like an extension of trees and sky.

Adding UV decals that reflect purple UV light to oncoming birds should minimize any fatal head-on collisions. There are a few different products available, such as dot strips, decals, and UV liquid. The decals shown last approximately 3 months.

If it's inconvenient to have decals up year-round, consider using them for the prime spring migration months of April and May.
