I've also found just having screens on windows helps prevent the reflective effect and if they do hit, it has give and is less apt to cause mortal effects.

Check out the American Bird Conservancy website for several suggestions on preventing birds from hitting windows:

It was very chilly and he was lying twisted beneath the window, so I went outside and gathered him up to move him out of the shade to a sunny spot. I never know if it's better to move them, like I did, or to leave them so they won't be traumatized by me handling them. Does anyone have any insight? In this particular instance all's well that ends well, as he flew off a few minutes later.
