Birds see the world differently, and often, that beautiful reflection of the sky is a deadly illusion. Every year, millions of birds are lost to window collisions—but you can help change the narrative. Join the Friends of Lapham Peak for a presentation by WI Master Naturalist, Window Collisions Bird Ambassador, and Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance partner Samantha Humes. Samantha will share an eye-opening exploration into the science of why these strikes happen and the simple, life-saving steps you can take at home.

Whether you’re a lifelong birder or a backyard nature enthusiast, this one-hour session (plus Q&A) will equip you with the tools to make your windows bird-safe.

• Best for: Adults and conservation-minded youngsters who are ready to take action.
