I'm using a computer at the library right now, as my home computer is again on the fritz. While I hat to spend the money, I think it's time we get a new one...
Anyway, I feel like I have to hurry up here but I just wanted to post this link to a silhouette pattern you can print out for your windows to prevent birds from hitting them...

If this link doesn't work, just google "raptor silhouette window decal pattern" and it will come up.
My husband's grandma had so many little birds accidently hitting her patio doors and hurting themselves - we printed out a few of these raptors, taped them up, and haven't had a collision since.

I find a truly messy house frightens them away, too.
Lovely to see your comments - and the bird silhouette is a good idea - we had a bird feeder attached to the window with this mirror thing when we first moved in - so you could see the birds but they could not see you. My husband was in the kitchen and heard this giant thunk - a hawk had flown into the window trying to grab a quick birdie lunch. He shook his head, got up, and flew away, leaving my husband stunned. We took down the bird feeder...
Sounds like a good idea.
