beautiful, but also a vital part of the ecosystem and how you are offering these creatures a chance to rest and refuel. Fill your finished products with birdseed and choose a safe spot to hang them. Experts recommend bird feeders be positioned either closer than three feet or further than 30 feet from windows.
PROTECT FLIGHT
Birds in flight are prone to strike windows. For- tunately, there’s an easy home project you and your children can complete to- gether that will help pre- vent this from happening. Applying decals that reflect ultraviolet sunlight to your home’s windows — par- ticularly windows that are highly reflective of open sky — has been proven to sub- stantially reduce the likeli- hood of bird strikes.

KEEP A LOG
Now that you’ve invited birds to your yard and have taken steps to protect them, inspire young naturalists to keep a log of flying visitors.

Visit Audubon for Kids at audubon.org for a birding guide, activities, games and additional proj- ects that can help kids learn to identify various bird spe- cies by sight and sound.
“Environmental stew- ardship starts in your own backyard and people of all ages can get involved, in- cluding kids,” says Spencer Schock, founder of Win- dowAlert. “The good news is that turning your home into a refuge for birds is fun, easy, and something parents, grandparents and kids can work on together.”
