Isn't this slightly over-doing it on the prayer flags front? They are flapping so much that it's starting to look like a higher elevation Tibetan temple. But there's a reason ... it's American Robin season again (for those of you reading from the UK, these are not sweet little robin redbreasts - they are birds somewhat larger than a thrush - and in the fall and winter, they start to fly around in increasingly large flocks). This morning, the lure was our bird-baths - after which, they seemed not to realize that our windows were windows, but thought that the sky and trees continued ... After the fourth thud (no signs of concussion, but who knows how they're feeling by now), we decided that Enough was Enough, and I unearthed a couple of flag strands, and strung them up - which seems to have dissuaded suicidal birds for now.
