<p>The most notable example I can think of is a home with an &#8220;architecture feature&#8221; that ducks were flying into in the 8700 block of Jourdan Way. If you like you can read my story on the subject <a href="http://www.peoplenewspapers.com/ME2/Audiences/dirmod.asp?sid=&amp;nm=&amp;type=Publishing&amp;mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&amp;mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&amp;tier=4&amp;id=80E04FE64BDC4872A137ED8C804BBC80&amp;AudID=F8FE2234107E4A88B820886953F77B32">here</a>. The photos on the left are from Patty Young, a bird watcher who took it upon herself to document the ducks&#8217; inability to avoid colliding with the &#8220;architecture feature.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;feature&#8221; was a large glass window built into the wall <a href="http://dallasdirt.dmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/011_11.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2359" title="011_11" src="http://dallasdirt.dmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/011_11-300x225.jpg" alt="" hspace="7" width="300" height="225" /></a>surrounding the pond. The purpose of the windows were to allow for a view of the pond and the house despite the large wall surrounding aforementioned home and pond. Seems a little oxymoronic to me &#8230; But, I don&#8217;t get paid by the hour to replicate &#8220;architecture features&#8221; from the Nasher Sculpture Center in the back yard&#8217;s of Preston Hollow estates.</p>
<p>Needless to say this job site (construction was still taking place on the home) was none to friendly to our feathered friends.</p>
