An article in the Aug 28, 2010 edition of the New York Times – Warning to Birds: All-Glass Buildings Ahead – describes recent developments in window technology to prevent bird collisions, which is very encouraging because it demonstrates a recognition of the issue by the major news media and by industry.

The monofilament is suspended a couple [...] posted November 20th, 2007; last edited November 20th, 2007 –– David Sibley After a week of pretty good success on the windows, today was cold with light snow, and the bird feeder was very active.
