Beautiful songbirds are on their way from their wintering grounds to their breeding grounds.\u00a0 Some have already arrived such as the male Red-winged Blackbirds, Grackles, Robins and Cowbirds.\u00a0 Warblers, Orioles, Grosbeaks and Hummingbirds will be making their appearances over the next two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can do our part to keep them safe by applying window alerts<\/a> to the outside of our windows.\u00a0 Other than cats, window strikes are a leading factor in avian mortality. \u00a0 Window Alerts contain a component that reflects ultraviolet sunlight.\u00a0 This is like putting up a stop sign for birds.\u00a0 Birds have vision that is up to 12 times better than that of humans.\u00a0 Humans will see a foggy outline of the alert which is not too invasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is best to apply these when the temperature is 50 degrees fahrenheit or 15 degrees celsius.\u00a0 If the temperature is cooler, wash the window with warm water before applying.\u00a0 If you have large windows, apply the decals in groups of three.\u00a0 Birds usually hit the upper half of the windows so it is best to place the decals about two thirds of the way up.\u00a0 Window alerts will fade from exposure to the sun so it is important to replace them every 9 to 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are different designs to choose from, hummingbirds, butterflies, leaves, and modern squares.\u00a0 Another choice would be the UV Liquid.\u00a0 This can be applied with a bingo marker to create dots on the window.\u00a0 It will dry to almost clear.\u00a0 You can protect a whole window with this product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s do our part in saving migrating birds this spring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Birding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
