Up to a billion birds die each year in the U.S. after hitting windows. And nearly half of that happens at homes. While this may feel like an overwhelmingly large problem, each of us can take small, manageable, and very helpful steps in making sure our home's windows are bird-safe. In this presentation by Brenna Marsicek at the Sun Prairie Public Library, you'll learn about why birds hit windows, and what we can do as individuals to save lives and make our windows visible to birds.
