Birds Colliding With Windows A Problem With A Solution

November 24th, 2007 · No Comments

One of the problems that has been known to scientists and birders for a long time is that birds have trouble distinguishing a tree or other natural object from its reflection in a window.  This causes the deaths of between 100 million and 1 billion birds each year in collisions with glass according to ornithologist Daniel Klem, a professor at Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania.  That’s alot of birds!

To see what steps are being taken to remedy this problem read this article written by Andrea Jones of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution here: Birds vs Glass Kills Millions
