- Saw Painted Bunting eating Finch Festival seed mix from Audubon
- Found juvenile Indigo Bunting dead. It was in its first or second year.
- Bird strike protection installed for the glass windows
Caretakers Note: To protect birds from striking glass windows, we covered the top part of the window with mesh about 4 inches from the glass. The mesh screen is stapled tight and firm to act as protection so the birds bounce off instead of crashing into the window glass.
