I would not trust chickens to have very good eyesight compared to any bird, but youre probably right about flying high vs through trees and neighborhoods.<br />@Jen - When I worked in AZ last spring, my crew called me The Bummer.

The only thing I bought for Christmas to give to folks is WindowAlert window decals (windowalert.com) 'cause they are see through for us, but reflect UV for birds so they're obvious to birds. So even picky folks can make their windows non-lethal.<br />2. I used to LOVE those mirrored looking building that reflected the blue sky, etc. Gorgeous. Then learned the disproportionate # of birds they killed, now I consider them irresponsible.<br />3. My chickens cannot see for crap at night/dusk. I suspect migrating at night is different as they fly higher (than, say, trying to land in a tree in the dark), above obstructions. My theory.<br />4. Yes, probably coincidence, unless each town was blasting fireworks that same night that scared the crap out of the birds.<br /> Thanks for addressing this. Nice to hear a voice of reason vs. journalists who, in my first hand experience, ALWAYS try to make an event more dramatic than it is. ALWAYS. =)biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-65232600940097423522011-01-05T18:20:59.569-08:002011-01-05T18:20:59.569-08:00Dammit, Steve.

I've been all worked up all day and thanks a bunch for almost making me take an elbow strike to my computer...whhahhat? no seriously. This is a good post and I hope the stupidass media takes these things into account (though they won't...). Your vireo pic made me cry a little bit, I really hate turbines.
