Yesterday I was delighted to see a very crisp looking white crowned sparrow in
the yard. Pine siskins are still here every morning and today there are three
hummers fighting over the feeder. Yesterday I also had a male orchard oriole
and the first male blue bird I have seen since last year. The first chimney
swifts put in an appearance last evening. Still no indigo buntings. Wind is
so strong today that it is blowing the seed out of the platform feeders and
sloshing the nectar out of the hummingbird feeder.
A question: An article in the Nature Conservancy magazine in discussing
birds flying into windows mentioned that you could get a sticker that reflected
ultra violet light which birds could see but not humans. I couldn't get any
more information about such a product. Does anyone know anything about this?
