Hi John. What you say is true.
My thinking runs this way: I try to create an oasis for life to flourish. If
my stuff increases habitat and diversity, I'm doing my job. If my stuff interferes with that, I need to take steps.
Another example: we have a real problem with songbird strikes and deaths on our many windows. The only effective solution I've found is to run monofilament fishing line across the windows in a rectangular pattern. The best stuff is a night fishing line I got from Cabelas; it glows in ultraviolet light, which birds can see clearly as a barrier.
