Definitely OT but we have been discussing nature.

Never seen one do it repeatedly, but when I worked in Silicon Valley
and became a "carpet commando", finally got a great corner window
cubicle. All glass on two sides and birds would slam into the
spotless windows with fatal regularity. Guess they saw it as a
straight shot. It was so sad.
Lotsa birds, here, but nowhere near as much glass. We've had a couple
hits, but none fatal. Had a small owl knock itself silly on our bay
window. I left it alone on our deck for awhile and, fortunately, it
regained it's senses and flew away, seemingly unimpaired.
The only real case of a bird brain was the woodpecker that decided our
aluminum tv antenna mast was a sapling. Banged away on that thing fer
2-3 weeks before finally giving up.
