Thanks to Joan and Gail for their feedback and a special thanks to Kathy 
Woods for her wonderful work rehabilitating wildlife.  The Hopkins Gazette 
also had an article on the hawk.   I'm including the link to the Hopkins 
article, which quotes Daniel Klem, who has been researching the issue of 
glass and birds for decades.

http://gazette.jhu.edu/2011/01/18/hawks-tale/

I encourage folks to comment on the articles with the magnitude of problem 
of birds and collisions with windows, or volunteer with our Baltimore 
program or the Lights Out DC program.   Please email me off-list if you are 
interested in helping out in Baltimore, or, if you're closer to D.C., check 
out Lights Out DC on Facebook at:
