#WindowCollision victim in #WestSeattle. This #FoxSparrow might have seen it coming if the windows had been treated with #FeatherFriendly bird collision deterrent or other bird-safe window treatment.

Since 2009, Seattle has lost approx. 1,200 acres of canopy cover. That's an area of tree cover twice the size of Discovery Park lost from our neighborhoods. We need an update to our tree protection code. Sign the petition for stronger tree protection now! https://t.co/cc82vIXrDp

Great news that #birdfriendly #glass is starting to make moves in the architectural world! We need to become more bird-friendly with our buildings, Seattle!

[American Bird Conservancy @ABCbirds]

#Birdfriendly #glass was recently named the top trend at the @AIANational meeting! This shows it's gaining in popularity and that the demand for #bird-friendly building materials is growing.

Migratory #birds are in dire need of stronger protections. A U.S. House of Reps. hearing at 10 am ET today may launch that process by restoring critical #MigratoryBirdTreatyAct protections. Watch our partner @CornellBirds testify live: https://t.co/4JZeuKI6uT

Many migratory birds are on the move at night, navigating in the dark. That's right: when you're in bed napping, their wings are flapping. Find out why — and see more fascinating bird migration facts:

Also be mindful of mowing for nesting sparrows, juncos, and other ground-nesting birds! We are in peak nesting season right now so keep a look out for young fledglings and active nests. #nestingseason #birdsafegardening

Be untidy! If you leave a part of your garden wild, don't mow, don't use pesiticides, you would be amazed the difference it can make for our native bees!

Can Humans Help Trees Outrun Climate Change?

Most trees can migrate only as fast as their seeds disperse — and if current warming trends hold, the climate this century will change 10 times faster than many tree species can move....
