The problem with the crows will only last another couple weeks because of
the changing angle of the sun and the amount of cloud cover. You've probably
noticed that these attacks occur during a similar timeframe each day. You
might try putting a light near those affected windows to reduce the
reflection or if they can be opened that will change the angle of glare.

As for the geese, you might as the parishioners to volunteer to come by a
couple times each day with a dog and walk the grounds. More often is
effective. The geese will move to another pond where they are less annoyed.
Of course, another group migrating may discover your watering hole and the
fun starts all over.

Good Birding,

Seriously, I need good advice from the birding community re: two bird 
problems.

Both involve a church in Walworth:

1) Day after day for the past several weeks, crows have been continually 
banging into the windows ... and they persist at it (as if fighting their 
reflections?).  A single crow may attack a window for as long as an hour!

2) The small pond on the property has attracted hundreds of geese.  If 
chased away, they just come back later.

Any suggestions re: what to do about either of these problems?

All creative and effective solutions will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
