We invite sightings of collisions on campus. We have published on systematic observations around 8 campus buildings but we invite additional observations to add to our data. If you add data, it helps if you can do a couple of closeups of the bird and provide a wider view of the where the bird was in relation to the building (like N face, E end of JTB).

We invite sightings of collisions on campus. We have published on systematic observations around 8 campus buildings but we invite additional observations to add to our data. If you add data, it helps if you can do a couple of closeups of the bird and provide a wider view of the where the bird was in relation to the building (like N face, E end of JTB).
Good news: On campus, look for the Feather Friendly dots on President's Circle, from AEB and JTB, which cut down on bird deaths. Also, Gardner Commons and the Law school have permanent bird-friendly windows. For details, the publications are available here:
