You are correct, I misquoted you. The clean glass, and yes, there was a
lot of dirt on the outside, and the lace curtain make a fairly effective
blind. But, if they detect even a hint of motion from me, they're
gone. I have also determined that 11:00 to noon is the period with the
proper light. And I've learned to focus on the most likely spot that
the bird will be, in the proper light. After that, it is pure luck!
During a later period when I had the camera removed from the tripod, I
observed a dove and a squirrel in the bird bath. I missed those shots.
I also shot a few frames through the windshield this evening, during
traffic delays.
Thanks for your comments and advice.
I did my usual Saturday backup of my C-drive today, and noted the size
of the backup has increased about 7% since I started adding these larger
files to my Lightroom library. (My RAW files from the camera are on a
different drive.) So I reset the camera to record Lossless Compression
RAW files. What do you use?

Misquoted again . . . :-)
What I said, or meant to say, was:
1. No comments, ratings, evaluations of lens quality based on shots
through window glass are meaningful. Not that one shouldn't shoot
through glass, just that it will be poorer in classic lens
measurements than without glass.
2. I really like the 'look' of the images you've been making through
this particular glass.
but the last time I did that, I got a nest of pesky wasps. So, I did
the next best thing, washing both sides with Windex.
It seems to me that there are at least four reasons why shooting
through glass gives results that differ from shooting without it,
ranging from bad to wonderful. Consider that the filters we mount in
front of our lenses are also glass. They work well because they
address all these problems.
Of those reasons, I suspect that modest dirt on the glass is the least
important.
