Come to Mount Horeb Public Library for a presentation about how you can make migration safer for birds this spring!

Up to 3.5 billion birds die every year in the US after hitting windows, and almost half of those happen at homes. The good news is that the solutions are easy and affordable! This presentation will share some science behind why birds hit windows, and provide recommendations on ways to address problem windows at home and in our communities to make migration and buildings safer for birds.

Brenna Marsicek is the director of outreach with Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance and coordinator of the Madison, WI-based Bird Collision Corps. She is passionate about helping home-owners, businesses, and communities become more bird-safe and informed about the issue of bird-window collisions.
