Hi all-
City Wildlife's Lights Out DC
<http://citywildlife.org/lights%20out.html>program monitors
bird/building collisions in downtown Washington DC during
spring and fall migrations. By gathering information on numbers and
species of birds, and by working with staff at the most problematic
buildings, it's hoped that the number of strikes can be minimized. During
April and May of 2012, we found 57 birds of 22 species on the early morning
streets of DC.
LIGHTS OUT DC IS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR THE FALL MIGRATION
SEASON. If you live in the DC area and would like to learn more, check out
the Light Out DC website <http://citywildlife.org/lights%20out.html>, their
recent article on Huffington
Post<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/04/lights-out-dc-city-wildlife-dead-birds_n_1475094.html>,
and contact Lisbeth Fuisz at <info...> to volunteer.
Good birding!
Nick
