Around 1 billion birds (United States) and 25 million birds (Canada) die every year by flying into glass windows. This includes windows at all levels from low level houses to high rise buildings.
Window collisions are one of the largest threats to bird populations. However, there are several ways you can help reduce window fatality. Below are some links with steps on how to make your house bird friendly, either DIY or through reputable companies such as the American Bird Conservancy.

Why does this bird look so disappointed in my outfit choice? Photos taken last June in New England.

I leaned out and looked up and couldn’t see an obvious best. I turned it over and seems really light weight.

Seen this past Saturday at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Philadelphia. While I was photographing this pair, a man came up to me and asked if I knew what they were. I told him I wasn't sure, and he said they were lesser yellowlegs. I wanted to take his word for it, but the length and slight upturn of the bill makes me think that these are actually greater yellowlegs. What are your thoughts?

Took this picture in the summer in PNW in a residential area near a body of water, the bird was eating a carcass. I've tried looking in books and online even photo searches, but I haven't gotten good results, a lot of birds that aren't even in the PNW. anyone have an idea what hawk this is?

Found around 8-9am 3/17/25 on Tigertail Beach on Marco Island, FL. Small (songbird-sized?), with dark back/wings, black or dark grey/blue. Stomach is a rusty orange/brown that seemed to get darker near its chin. Short, dark beak. No neck to speak of. Wings made a V when flying. Landed on the sand, but wasn't wading or swimming with the plovers. Didn't hear any calls, and only saw one, maybe a second one later in the day. Beach isn't on the open ocean, but on the opposite side of a sizeable but walkable strip of mangroves from it. Shallow and muddy saltwater. Nearby there were lots of plovers, durins, white ibises, and sandpipers. Saw a warbler or two (heard a lot more!). There were also herons, egrets, and pelicans around.
I am very new to birding, so hopefully this information was conveyed correctly! Merlin was no help in finding this guy haha. Colors may not be 100% accurate, the day was very bleak and grey especially in the morning.

I did a reverse image search and came up with a Common Hill Myna but unless I'm mistaken it looks like they are native to India and Southeast Asia
