[Tweeters] Western Tanagers and Window strikes

[Zora Monster]

Wild birds unlimited sells decals for windows.  The instructions tell the user to apply to the outside of the window. The decals reflect UV light, if memory serves me correctly.  That reflective surface is on the outside of the decal, so mounting them inside renders them useless.

I know Seattle Audubon sells stuff. But if you apply it on the inside of the window, the outside still has the shiny reflective surface that can reflect the trees and make it appear the birds are flying through forest when they hit your window.
