Wild birds, our closest neighbors, are essential to human welfare. They provide a multitude of ecosystems services to improve and support human life. Of course, we can’t forget the personal benefits we receive from their physical beauty, fascinating behavior, and melodious vocalizations.
These precious creatures face many deadly threats in the human landscape jeopardizing their survival. Vickie Dauphinais will discuss a common threat birds face in our own backyards, bird-window collisions. She will review what can be done to address the problem. Including easy, economical approaches that can be used on our homes, and places of business.
