In honor of World Migratory Bird Day, join us for this co-sponsored event between Powered Up Baraboo and the Baraboo Buds Garden Club.
"Through the Looking Glass: Studying and Reducing Bird-Window Collisions"
Brenna Marsicek, Director of Outreach, Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance (formerly Madison Audubon)
Up to a billion birds die every year in the US after hitting windows, and almost half of those happen at homes. The good news is that the solutions are easy and affordable! This seminar will share some science behind why birds hit windows, how a local citizen science group is studying the problem, what Madison and Middleton have done to reduce collisions, and provide recommendations on ways to address problem windows at home to make them more bird-safe.
Brenna Marsicek is the director of outreach for Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance and coordinates or supports a variety of volunteer citizen science programs including the Bird Collision Corps, Bald Eagle Nest Watch, Kestrel Nest Box Monitoring Program, and the Madison-area Christmas Bird Count. She loves helping home-owners, building occupants, and communities become more bird-friendly and sustainable!
This special event will take place on Tuesday, May 14 at 6:30 PM in the Library Auditorium.
