It\u2019s mid-September already, and fall migration is in full swing.\u00a0 Many of the beautiful songbirds we\u2019ve enjoyed over the spring and summer months are making their way to their wintering grounds, including thrushes, warblers, tanagers, orioles and last, but certainly not least, hummingbirds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that we can help them safely reach their destinations?\u00a0 Other than cats, window strikes are a high cause of bird fatalities.\u00a0 We can prevent this from happening by making our windows more visible to birds.\u00a0 There are a number of products available for this purpose.
Window Alerts:<\/a>\u00a0 This product comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to choose from.\u00a0 Each decal has a special coating that reflects ultraviolet sunlight.\u00a0 The birds see this as a glowing stop sign.\u00a0 To us it appears as an etched design.\u00a0 They need to be placed on the outside of your windows, and should be replaced before spring and fall migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilderness Fred\u2019s Anti-collision Decals<\/a>:\u00a0 These are available in black static cling decals shaped like a hawk, or transparent decals which contain a component to brightly reflect ultraviolet sunlight.\u00a0 Each package contains 2 sheets with one large and 2 small decals.\u00a0 Place on the outside of your windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Window Alerts UV Liquid:<\/a>\u00a0 This liquid can be applied to windows with the bingo marker to create small dots on your window, and can be used along with UV Alert Stickers.\u00a0 Apply to the outside of your windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Window Gems:\u00a0<\/a> These are prismatic, static cling vinyl decals that come in a variety of shapes including birds, leaves, dragonflies, butterflies and pinecones.\u00a0 They will capture sunlight, or moonlight, creating a glow of various colours like rainbows.\u00a0 Window Gems can be washed and reused.\u00a0 They are most effective when placed on the outside of your window, but can be put on the inside if your outside window is difficult to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homes and businesses can also make a huge difference by turning off indoor and outdoor lights at night, as many birds migrate at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s do our part this autumn to help birds reach their destinations safely so we can look forward to their return next spring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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