Description: Reflecting on Challenges and Solutions for Preventing Bird-Window Collisions in Residential Landscaping” Description: Great programs like Lights Out and FLAP have addressed bird-window collisions/deaths in concentrated metropolises. But the number of bird deaths in the U.S. hold steady, around one billion annually. Roughly half of avian mortality caused by window collisions occur on residential properties. This program provides the latest data from top bird conservationists, including why populations cannot rebound from this threat; addresses the challenges of retrofitting windows and other reflective building materials on homes spread out across the land; and offers novel, practical and cheap DIY solutions for us all.
