This product is still pretty new in the United States, but it seems like a
great solution to a very severe problem - likely over 1 million birds killed/yr
Not sure how much it costs to retro-fit buildings, but if and when new windows
are needed, it seems like the way to go!

David,
I wonder how big a problem this is every year? I work at East Tennessee State
University in the evenings and have encountered the same issue of
window/building kills. This past spring, Fred Alsop and I were asked to look at
this "yellow" bird that was dead outside the Campus Center Building. It was a
beautiful Prothonotary Warbler that had been killed the night before. Also,
last Tuesday I found an injured Tennessee Warbler with what I would guess was a
broken wing. It was running/hopping only and not even attempting to fly. I
would assume it is now dead too. Fred told me that this happens some every
year. Wonder if there is something to be done to help this not to happen as
much? I suppose it would be too expensive though to even try...

Among the window casualties on the UTC campus this morning was a Lincoln’s
Sparrow. I posted that I banded a Ruby-crowned Kinglet yesterday; the wintering
birds seem to be coming in early.
