Saw a chart about window strikes and migration season that made me rethink everything

I was reading a local birding blog for my area, the one run by the Audubon chapter in Charlotte. They posted this chart showing window strike reports by month, and the spike during spring and fall migration was insane. Like, over 60% of all reported strikes in our county happened in just those two periods. I always thought it was a year-round problem, which it is, but seeing the numbers laid out like that hit different. It makes total sense now that I think about it, with all the young birds and tired migrants moving through. I've doubled down on my window decals for this spring, but I'm wondering if I should be doing more during peak weeks. Has anyone else adjusted their prevention methods based on migration timing, or is it just me?

Ended up scrolling through Tubi for over an hour because every terrible-looking poster was a gem. How do you even pick one when they're all so gloriously awful?

A prep cook in Seattle taught me something about salt

I was working a pop-up event a few years back, and this prep cook, Maria, was seasoning a huge batch of soup base. She told me, 'Taste it with a piece of the main vegetable, not just a spoon.' I tried it with a bit of potato, and the flavor was totally different. Has anyone else found a simple tasting trick that changed how you season a dish?

My fridge's mystery spill took two days to track down, not the quick wipe I expected.

Watched a guy in Tacoma pour a mold without a proper vent and it blew back on him.

He was rushing a small bronze job and got a face full of steam and hot sand. It was just a small burn, but it made me stop and check my own vent lines every single time now. How do you guys make sure your vents are clear on a busy day?
