Thanks for the link to a very interesting and yet depressing article! I am certainly going to do all I can to learn more about this and to do what I can to help!

The real crime here, is that most of the other migratory dangers, such as cell towers, wind generators, etc. at least have some purpose.  But reflective glass in buildings is strictly superficial and non-essential.  It seems clear to me that if more people were aware of the result (and cared) that this problem could be greatly reduced in the future.  But it isn't the first case of human kind (and I used the term losely) putting money and pride ahead of compassion.
