so i suppose one way windows would probably not be counted into that figure then.
Gotta love data collection.

Something that has not been noted yet is that glass is often reflective. If windows were always visibly transparent, birds could have a decent chance to notice who or what is behind them before impact. Unfortunately, the reflections are often of the sky and clouds, or maybe a fruit tree- as what happened to a poor Western Tanager at my house this morning. I have anti strike decals and haven’t had an incident in years, so this caught me off guard and I have to address it.
Bird condition is unknown, as they flew off. Many birds succumb to internal injuries later, sadly.
