Our paper on how #CitizenScience is addressing the global issue of bird-window collisions is the cover story for the new @ESAFrontiers issue!

And btw that's a Chinese Blackbird, Turdus mandarinus, a top window collision victim in China

I'm not on this not-bird app much anymore, but I recently got approval from the building manager to make our office windows bird friendly! Proof of concept using oil-based paint marker and a washer as a stencil ☺️

Thanks to @city_bird_org for putting together this infographic based on @siren_la's work!
The full study behind it is here: https://t.co/4frmyt5QaF
And never hesitate to DM us for a copy of the full text!

I'm excited to share our new review paper in @ESAFrontiers showcasing how #CitizenScience programs around the world are advancing science, education & policy on the global issue of bird-window collisions!

@Elmore_Ecology @ClemsonUniv Congrats!!!

[Loss Ecology Lab @LossLabOSU]

New paper out in Urban Ecosystems!
@gjriggs tested window markers designed to reduce bird collisions & in this 1st replicated BACI study found they reduced collisions at bus shelters despite collisions going up at untreated shelters

We join our partners, friends, and community members here in Los Angeles, and around the world, in remembering mountain lion P-22: https://t.co/XOC1XCbico

Goodbye, P-22. Your scientific legacy will live on.

Great to finally get this paper out from my MS! Thanks @LossLabOSU!

[Loss Ecology Lab @LossLabOSU]

New paper out in Ornithological Applications!
Led by @siren_la we show that bird–window collisions increase w/ weather favoring nocturnal migration and inclement & changing weather🌬️⛈️🪟🐦

Found this window collision Swainson's Thrush earlier this week 😔 It was alive and alert, but had a wing droop, suggesting a possible coracoid fracture. If anyone has suggestions for language to use to contact building management about window treatment options, pls share!

[SF Bay Bird Observatory @SFBBO]

Join our team! We're #hiring a Director of Waterbird Programs and two Waterbird Biologists. Go to https://t.co/e2z4Bc8GAC for all the details about each position and how to apply. Positions are open until filled, with first review starting August 15th. Please share!

[Sirena L. @siren_la]

Prospective grad students, check out this opportunity to work with great advisors!

[Loss Ecology Lab @LossLabOSU]

🚨New grad position alert!🚨
We're recruiting an MS student to study ways to reduce bird-window collisions
This project w/ @Seiurus lab builds on baseline collision monitoring & is possible thru a major @okstate investment to treat known collision hotspots

🚨Here's The Atlantic's new cover story, adapted from my new book, An Immense World.

By flooding the world with light & sound--sensory pollution--we've confounded, routed, and harmed other animals. But we can still save the quiet & preserve the dark. 1/

🚨New paper in @AnimalEcology!

Review and synthesis of global literature on domestic #cat impacts on #wildlife🐈🪶

We reviewed >2000 papers & show patterns/gaps in literature related to region, impact type etc

Very proud of this whole lab collaboration!

@FeatheredKatie I'm so sorry! I hope she gets all better soon 🥺

Finally, 99PI covers bird-building collisions!

[99 Percent Invisible @99piorg]

It’s believed that buildings kill as many as 1 billion birds in the U.S. per year. Design critic and long-time friend of the show @LangeAlexandra joins us to talk about why this happens and how a little bit of design can go a long way. https://t.co/XOtWiKpJko

[Stuff You Should Know @SYSKPodcast]

Artificial light at night, aka light pollution, affects almost everyone on Earth. And not just people- trees, plants, animals, insects, and marine life are affected by our propensity to light up everything we can. Learn what you YOU can do to help. https://t.co/sWn5vlOmTd

@FeatheredKatie They're so cute 😭
