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.

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:
