Did you know? Each year more than 2 billion wild birds are killed by colliding with glass windows.....

This is especially concerning during migration season, the fall and spring, when the highest number of deaths occur. But with your help some of these deaths can be prevented.

That’s where YOU come in:
1. Pull down your window blinds
2. Turn off your lights at night
3. Adding markers to your windows
4. Even moving plants off your window sills

Together we can help protect our native birds! #FeatheredFridayDid you know? Each year more than 2 billion wild birds are killed by colliding with glass windows.....
