Our first year at the cabin taught us a lot
Like big windows fool most wild birds into cruising thru the cabin
This one took out a few avian friends before my lady draped a crocheted something in it

We'd hear a 'bonk' and sure enough, another one bit the dust
Except the last time
We had a flock of nutcrackers swoop in and stay for a few days
They were mostly bullies
Crowded out my little guys
Hogged the feeders
One took if upon hisself to fly thru that octagon window
Plopped on the ground
Thought it was another goner
Got the shovel
Turns out, it was just stunned
Set him on the picnic table and kinda petted/stroked him for a few minutes
He tried to walk, fell, tried again
I put him on a stump, by hisself
Watched
Within 20-30 minutes, he gathered himself and flew away
A bit cockeyed flight, but he was flying
Had a limp
Came back for several days
Then, they just all flew away
Now we have the crocheted 'drape'
Still gives light, but not so deadly or tempting
