"In Minnesota, bird-window collisions are a proven problem. Over 100 species of birds have been documented at just a small number of
buildings being monitored throughout the state. Birds are killed or injured as a result of clear and reflective glass. Artificial lighting also
confounds night-migrating species.
Fortunately, awareness and preventative actions are emerging. Internationally, Lights Out programs are aiding night migrants in a
growing number of cities. And by incorporating bird-safe building design strategies as part of an integrated sustainable design program,
we can help save countless resident and migratory birds."
