I've had a few stunned birds fall on my patio, after striking the
picture window. This window is near a corner in an L-shaped house. A
few years ago, an enterprising sharp-shinned hawk figured out that, if
he hid in bushes along the fence, and flew toward the feeders when birds
were there, they would fly into the window trying to escape, and he
would scoop one up and be gone. I finally had to let the feeders sit
empty for a month before he moved on somewhere else.

A family of Song Sparrows makes its home in the boxwoods behind my house, and they show
up around the bird bath and feeders from time to time. This one stopped for a
snack. Many times, I hear them when they are deep inside the boxwoods but aren't
visible.

You have interesting birds in you neighborhood.
The other day, a small bird crashed into my window. My cat immediately went for
the bird. It landed in a bucket of shells, so I manage to get to it before the
cat figured it out. I held the bird in my hands, it perched my finger. It
stayed there and didn't want off. After about 5 minutes all of a sudden it must
have come to and took off.
One more deterrent for me getting good bird shots, my cats.
