Due to a stroke causing mobility problems, my nature friends are an important part of my world. They don't even fly away when I put seed out through the window. This year I even have three types of woodpeckers! My favorite is the Downey woodpecker.
Spring is my favorite time of year also. The robins have returned. One nested on our porch last year and looks like she's returning this year. If you find something that works to keep the birds from flying into your window, please share. I have the same problem.
Have you tried a motion activated noise maker by the window? I have never used one but I have heard of them. Unfortunately it may take a few times but the noise that the prey will activate may deter the predators. Schools in my district use one to deter birds from building nests under awnings and walkways.
You have a way with the wild animals Ryan. I’ve had a golden eagle nest in one of the juniper trees out back of the home here in Bend. Saw a mama and her baby. One of them not sure if it was the baby or the mama golden eagle that came back the the tree last year.
I've yet to see a golden eagle in the wild, but hope to. With our bald eagles here, the adults return to nest in the same tree and the youngsters have to go find their own territory by age two. Perhaps golden eagles are the same way.

Just looked up downey woodpecker. Very handsome bird. I'll keep on the lookout for one now. Thanks, Joanne. So glad you get to interact with nature.

Robins are great! I'll pass on any tips I get that prove workable.
Loved this! I am partial to a Murder of Crows.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mom. Murder of Crows would make a great title for a Halloween piece.

Or call game wardens office and ask for advice.
Good advice, Colleen. I'll look into it. Someone suggested those Christmas scene projectors to cast colorful images on the glass.

I haven’t seen them come back to nest. I’m hoping they will come back soon..
