Wednesday, February 5, 12:30 p.m. Well over 1 billion birds die each year in the U.S. because of building collisions. That estimate comes from a study published in 2024 and it was eye-opening because it was much higher than previous estimates. One of the study’s authors, Kaitlyn Parkins of the American Bird Conservancy, will show us which techniques actually work to reduce window crashes and which don’t. This is news you can use for those of us trying to make a difference for bird conservation. Kaitlyn Parkins is the glass collisions program coordinator at American Bird Conservancy, where she works to reduce bird-window collisions through education, outreach, glass testing, and policy solutions. Before joining ABC, Kaitlyn managed the Project Safe Flight collision monitoring program at NYC Bird Alliance, and was part of the team that worked to pass NYC’s landmark bird-friendly building ordinance.
