Monthly Meeting Zoom Talk

How can we prevent the loss of a billion birds each year in the United States due to collisions with windows and structures? Jo Anna Lutmerding, biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Migratory Bird Program will discuss the growing momentum nationwide to tackle this widespread yet avoidable cause of avian mortality and how straightforward solutions—such as reducing disruptive light pollution and making windows more visible for birds—can yield substantial benefits for bird conservation. Learn about the initiatives and opportunities to expand these efforts in southern Maryland, a crucial region along a major migratory route.
