Well, maybe the front-door birds *are* the best, after all. (Fortunately,
none of them have been hurt by their encounters with the glass door.)
Last spring, it was a Bobwhite, to my amazement. This morning, it was a male
Black-Throated Blue Warbler who bounced off the door, then rested briefly on
a nearby railing.
Interestingly, the only dead bird that I've found near the house (thus a
likely victim of window-crashing) was a female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. I
guess her maneuvering skills were outweighed by her "territorial defense"
instincts. (It was also late enough in the season for her to have been a
first-year female.)
