Murderous windows


Kitty likes all windows, of course;

but apparently there are other reasons besides modesty to have curtains.

The house killed a junco, I think.


Of course, suicides do go up this time of year, right?

Apparently not.

There is nothing nice about hearing a feathery thud and the tiny ring of slight skullbone against thermal pane, then seeing the twitching back-half of a dying bird sticking up out of the snow.

this used to happen at Sunday/Hebrew school, since the synagogue had huge plate glass windows all around the lobby of the ed building. i used to hate going in and out in the spring, when the place was littered with dead birds.

what about putting some colorful window clings up to signal that the windows are in fact there? that was a temporary solution at the time.
