Bird Safety in the Built Environment

Building glass and lighting can be deadly hazards for birds, killing hundreds of millions of birds every year in the United States alone. Building-related bird deaths are largely preventable through building design and retrofit. This program will cover: • The science of bird-window collisions • Current bird-safe design best practices • Examples of these design techniques and building materials in use locally and around the world Presenter Joanna Eckles is Curator of Birds at the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota and a consultant for creating bird-friendly communities. Joanna has three decades of experience in bird conservation and education. She coordinated bird-window collision research in the Twin Cities, created a Lights Out program to reduce light pollution, and co-authored the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines (B3) Bird-Safe Building Requirement.
