Hi all-

City Wildlife's Lights Out DC
<http://citywildlife.org/lights%20out.html>programs 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.  Among them were:

Ovenbird - 8
Common Yellowthroat - 6
White-throated Sparrow - 5
Catbird - 3
Hermit Thrush - 3
Swamp Sparrow - 3
American Woodcock
Cedar Waxwing
Brown Creeper
Song Sparrow
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Black-and-white Warbler
Scarlet Tanager
Indigo Bunting
Wood Thrush
Chimney Swift
House Finch

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

Good birding!
