Thanks to Alex Krofta for this post.

While that vireo survived, many do not. There is so much we can do to prevent this. Here are some resources: - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/why-birds-hit-windows-and-how-you-can= -help-prevent-it/ - https://www.stopbirdcollisions.org/ - https://abcbirds.org/get-involved/bird-smart-%20glass/ - https://abcbirds.org/blog/truth-about-birds-and-glass-collisions/ While the scale of the problem is staggering, the graphic below shows that 44% of collisions occur on 1-3 story buildings: that means we can save birds, right now, at our own homes and small businesses. Let's do it! Thank you for reading! -Alex
