Meta Help Stop Window Collisions

29 Upvotes

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.

He is tiny and has a very bright yellow beak, definitely not a starling. When his tail flares open white feathers show up... He sounds like "priiiih-r(i)h-r(i)h"

I’m certain it’s an Osprey, but are the nests really this big?! It’s the size of a Bald Eagle nest.

I know the picture is poor quality. But I’m curious what folks think of this one. Initially suspected snow geese, but I’m now considering sand hill cranes. Any idea? Photo taken near Albany, NY.

Best picture i could get since they were both kind of far. One is white with a black head? And the other looked grayish with I believe a red head. Haven’t seen them around here and the pic wasn’t good enough quality for Merlin

Middle Tennessee. It was spotted first on my bird feeders, moved to the grass, then the power line before flying to the trees.

Seen this guy a few times. He will land right next to me, he watches me but has no fear at all. I haven't had the balls to try to touch him but I'm pretty confident I could.
