A window strike sent a warbler to Wild Nest Bird Rehab
With fall migration in high gear, the rehab suggests turning off nonessential lights at night and placing feeders within 3 feet of windows.
A Black and White Warbler arrived at Wild Nest Bird Rehab after a window strike collision. With fall migration in high gear, the rehab asks people to watch for unusual birds and window collision victims.
The rehab's tips: turn off nonessential lights at night during spring and fall migration so birds don't get disoriented, and place feeders within 3 feet of a window or more than 30 feet away.
Exterior window screens absorb impact and make glass visible, and decals or film on the outside of the glass break up reflections so birds see a solid barrier.

Open the post“This gorgeous Black and White Warbler arrived at our facility this week, a victim of a window strike collision. Fall migration is in high gear right now, so be on the lookout for unusual birds as well as window collision victims. How can you help prevent window strikes? 1. Turn off nonessential lights at night during spring and fall migration periods to keep birds from getting disoriented. 2. Place bird feeders either within 3 feet of the window (so they cannot build up high-speed impact) or more than 30 feet away. 3. Add exterior window screens, which absorb the impact and make glass clearly visible. 4. Make the outside surface of your glass visible to birds so they recognize it as a solid barrier. Apply decals or film to break up reflections.
