About this event

Window strikes are a huge problem: annually, up to 1 billion birds are killed after colliding with windows, and that’s just in the U.S. About 1/2 of these collisions are with home windows. With some thoughtful changes, we can all help make our windows safer for our feathered friends.

Please join us for this FREE talk where we’ll learn about window strikes:
