Bird-Safe Windows in Action: Protecting Birds at Verona Public Library

Brenna Marsicek, Director of Outreach for the Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance, shares the story behind a local conservation effort to protect migrating birds in Verona, Wisconsin. Through the Bird Collision Corps—a citizen science program focused on identifying bird-window collisions—volunteers surveyed the Verona Public Library during spring and fall migrations. The data revealed the library's large glass windows were a hotspot for bird collisions. Thanks to these findings, the library was able to install subtle but effective window treatments that prevent bird strikes while preserving the building's iconic design and beautiful views of Badger Prairie Park.
