"Crash Course: Saving birds one window at a time" Webinar Handout
This is a handout from our webinar, "Crash Course: Saving birds one window at a time". Birds collide with windows due to transparency and reflectivity, as well as environmental context and design traps. Bird attractants like feeders and baths can also pose risks. To prevent collisions, it's essential to add visual markers, window films, and screens to windows. By being mindful of bird-friendly architecture and placement of bird feeders and baths, we can reduce the likelihood of bird window strikes.
"Crash Course" webinar by Dr. Willow English
Windows allow us to experience the outside world from the comfort of our home, but they can threaten the natural world we are trying to see. Collisions with glass kill an estimated one billion birds in North America each year, and are contributing to population declines in many species. Fortunately, there are many methods for preventing collisions without sacrificing either windows or birds. Join Dr. Willow English to learn more about why collisions happen, how they affect birds, what is being done to address the issue, and how you can take steps ahead of spring migration to protect the birds in your yard, one window at a time.
