On the SE corner of 28th and Hennipen Ave in S Minneapolis there were =
hundreds of Cedar Waxwings today.  There are many berry bearing trees =
and the birds are just gobbling the fruit down. =20

The entrance to the apartment building has a glass entryway.  The person =
who runs the apartment building indicated that she had picked up 12 dead =
birds, after they slammed into the glass, today.  While I was there, =
four more birds slammed into the glass and died.  She asked for help in =
keeping the birds from killing themselves.

Can anyone tell how to keep the birds from slamming into the glass?

They have put up many Xerox copies of the hawk silhouette on the glass, =
but that does not seem to keep the birds away.

Oh, yes, I did take some pictures of the Cedar Waxwing.=20
