Avian Mortality from Window Collisions Presentation

October 4, 2018

A Bird’s Eye View

Avian Mortality from Window Collisions

Tuesday November 13, 5:30 – 8 pm

Kirsch Auditorium, Fetzer Center, WMU

Reception Provided; Open to all

Birds don’t see glass. They perceive windows as passageways to fly through or as habitat to fly into when windows mirror the sky and trees behind them. Birds typically die after colliding with windows and collisions are a major cause of avian mortality worldwide.

Learn about avian mortality associated with window strikes, student-led research on bird-window collisions on the campus of Western Michigan University, and low-cost, bird-friendly design solutions. 

5:30 Opening Reception

Featuring Photography by Artist Mary Whalen
