even if you think it is too dirty. This will go on for a couple of weeks while he is staking out territory around the nest. Once there are eggs in the nest, he should not be as conspicuous.

If you are willing, the easiest thing to do is spray the window with hair spray. That makes it non-reflective. It will look like hell from the inside, but it is only necessary for a short period of time.
