Total fake. Any bird hitting the glass would have folded its wings on impact not spread them. Also, what left the imprint? Was the owl covered with flour? What would make the eyes so perfectly round.

It's a fake...

Why?
If the glass was clear, would the bird be expecting the impact?

Experts said the silhouette was left by the bird’s “powder down” - a substance protecting growing feathers.

On the farm we had birds break their necks flying into our 3 season porch. Most were found dead underneath the window...Heard one loud bang one day and found a yellow wing flicker laying under the window...when I went to pick it up, its toes latched onto my finger and wouldn't let go. It had just knocked itself unconscious...i carried it around the yard for a few minutes than put it in the hollow of the old maple tree in the front yard. It laid there for a few minutes and then flew away...the larger the bird the more likely it is to survive crashing into a window...

We figured out it was usually after we cleaned the windows. soooooo, good excuse to not clean the storm windows...its saved many a birds life...A few of the birds I had to look up in a bird book.....
