Join Jessie Griswold to hear about the second leading cause of bird deaths in North America. Using data collected through window collision monitoring in Birmingham during migratory seasons in 2018 and 2019, we’ll learn why birds fly into glass and examine a variety of solutions you can do at home that are inexpensive, simple to apply, and will reduce or eliminate bird window collisions. A handout for guidelines on mitigation strategies as well as links to a variety of resources can be found at https://alaudubon.org/window-collisions/

Disclaimer: This presentation will include pictures of dead birds.

Pre-registration is required by 12 p.m. CST Monday, March 8th, and space is limited.
