Wildlife Wednesday FREE Science Lecture: Bird Collisions

Bird collisions with building windows are a top source of bird mortality and reducing these collisions has been identified as an important action to help halt and reverse declines of North American bird populations. Learn what species are most vulnerable to collisions and what you can do to make your home safe for birds. Presenter Bio: Tamara Zeller is an Outreach Biologist with the Division of Migratory Bird Management for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Anchorage, Alaska. She spends half of her time in the field surveying birds from airplanes and boats and the other half working with partners to communicate the value of birds and how people can help birds thrive. Though she loves all birds, she specializes in waterbirds, and leads projects related to loon conservation and management. When not working, she enjoys being outside with her dog, Ursa, and exploring the world through travel.
