The Trouble With Windows

Two birds, at different times have left their mark...happily, I can report that they both sat there on the ground shaking their head and the next time I looked, they had flown away.

[Julia]

Ouch!

[Shawn Kenwright]

nice spotting, and i beat someone has a headache

[Simply Amanda]

Oh buddies...frozen birdies. Poor things. Glad they flew off. We had a cool thing happen with a robin this year, did you see that? But sometimes they die:(.

[Susan C Clow]

I really worry when birds fly into my windows. I'm always happy when they get up and fly away.

[Susan]

I hate it when that happens! Most of the time they're able to fly off, but those few times they can't is awful!

[Gena Pegg]

WOW...looks like it was a disaster. Glad to hear they are okay and hope they learned their lesson. :)

[Kerri]

Wow!

[bkb in the city]

Glad they are okay but the window will need to be replaced

[Khawbecker]

It's so alarming when this happens. Relieved they are okay.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

We have three windows in our cathedral ceiling and every now and then I hear a clunk! and know that some poor little bird thought it was a wide open space. Most of the time they are unharmed but every once in a while, they're going too fast and then they're gone! So glad the ones who left these marks lived to tell of their "ordeal"!

[Candace]

I can't figure out why they do that! Our windows are not clean so it can't be they are confused with what they see!

1 time a humming bird flew into our window and it got knocked out and was lying in the geranium bed. I went out and dropped a few drops of water on it and it came to and flew away.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Cathie]

Amazing that they survived. The photo lets your imagination fill in the blanks. Ouch.

[Sharon]

Feeling their pain!

[Vicki Dixon]

@bkbinthecity the window is fine...just needs to be washed now.

[KWind]

Oh no! That happens quite often here too.

[Anita Campbell]

Oh yes. Every now and then we hear a "crash", and a bird has hit our window. Scary. They all seem to survive. They must go away with a massive headache, however! (Right now our windows are so dirty the birds have got to see them in time.. .... My excuse for not washing the windows. Save the birds!

[Joyce]

We get these as well but well done you for capturing the shapes sp well. Great picture

[mervyn hobbs]

Clever photo. I have been there done that said the bird.

[Vesna]

Two birds - unusual!

[Princess Fairlane]

It must have been hurt so much... looks like a crime scene :D

[Carole Imes]

Oh my... that's scary. Glad they're OK and you captured their image so well here.

[tony gig]

Oh my, glad they flew off Vicki.

[carol white]

Well captured!! I've had that happen to my conservatory windows, a couple of times

[Nicole]

those are hard smashes! glad to hear they both flew away!

[Pyrrhula]

Gladly you can remove it with some water, We once did have they fly on it. I was thinking she was dead but after a few min. they has gone.
Thank you for you visits, you great comments and the fav. I`m very pleased with each and all of them

[Dione Giorgio]

Cool. Glad they are ok.

[Shirley Banford]

Wow! They must really have hit hard to make marks like these. Great capture.

[Myrna O'Hara]

I know what you mean we always have them flying into our two big picture and bay windows on the south side of our house. I put snowflake decals in the windows this winter and that seems to have helped.

[Catherine W.]

We keep having this problem too since we got new windows and took down the blinds. May have to put the blinds back up. Our birds were not so lucky: (

[Jane Pittenger]

Somehow I can't seem to find your address. I'm going to spend a night near government camp this coming weekend in hopes of getting some snow shots and some stars over mt hood shots to celebrate my birthday. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions re spots to do some night shooting that don't require skiing nor have too much noise pollution. I've missed connecting with you. [e-mail]

[Kathie]

Get out the windex.

This reminds me of when a dove hit my window and it left a full imprint! http://365project.org/skipt07/365/2014-03-10
