[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [birders] Re: Window Decals From: "Wild Birds Unlimited" <RosannKovalcik(AT)comcast.net> Date: 13 Apr 2008 7:42am As someone who hears about birds that have met their death by flying into a window on a regular basis, I feel compelled to educate as many people as possible about how to prevent this sad situation. The American Bird Conservancy estimates we lose millions of birds each year as a result of this challenge the birds face. To prevent this, the Window Alerts referred to are placed on the outside of the window and are made of a component that brilliantly reflects the ultraviolet sunlight. With vision twelve times better than ours, birds see this as a "stoplight". Very importantly, the decals need to be replaced every 12 to 18 months as they lose their effectiveness with the fading of the UV coating as a result of weather exposure. If only we could get the word out to everyone before the accidents happen. I had a customer bring me a beautifully plumaged sapsucker yesterday, recently dead from a strike into his window. I marveled at the tail feathers which were spiky at the tips. I examined its feet, impressed with the equipment that allowed this bird to create the sapwells that are important to the migrating hummingbirds. The customer bought the Window Alerts from us and taught me a lesson - write about and advertise this very important preservation tool. Let's get the word out.

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [birders] WPBO report From: "makielb(AT)excite.com" <makielb@excite.com> Date: 13 Apr 2008 8:40pm Hi all: For those planning a trip to Whitefish Point in the next week or two be forewarned- There's LOTS of snow. Susan and I just returned from Paradise this morning. It snowed close to a foot on Friday night! And- there was already 2-3 feet on the ground - everywhere. That aside, we had a wonderful weekend there. The bay is completely frozen (OK there is a very distant shipping channel) but the big water is open. We had lots of redpolls, tree sparrows, juncoes, blackbirds and very few raptors- mostly Bald Eagles and 4 Northern Shrikes (two with a mile of the Tahquamenon rivermouth both north and south) Our real treat was a small flock of five very large-billed Red Crossbill between Paradise and WPBO. Sneaking up on them with our Prius allowed amazing close looks. In fact two actually came up to the can and disappeared beneath us! I'll be headed back in two weeks for more birds and hopefully less snow. More info and pictures on my web page.
