Bird strike prevention

What doesn't work at all:  Falcon silhouettes.

What does work:

       1. Keeping the windows quite dirty in migratory season.  Seems to be
the least
           intrusive solution for a home.  Hardly possible for a commercial
building.
       2. Stretching plastic "fruit netting" across the windows.  It can be
left up all year.
            I use netting with square holds about 3/4 inch in size.

My home has a lot of glass and I have sadly seen many birds strike and perish
over the last twelve years.  Most susceptible seem to be Ovenbirds, followed
by thrushes.
