It was a good morning looking for birds. None of the groups found any--probably due to the weather last night!
It was my first time going on a collision survey walk, but it was very easy to get into. Great news is that we didn't find any dead birds this time! Looking forward to doing this again.
Surveyed the Northside of campus, didn’t find any birds.
It was quite humid this morning. We found a total of 3 birds--2 Swainson's thrushes and 1 summer tanager. I think the predicted migration tonight is supposed to be around 324 million birds, but I am crossing my fingers that we will see only a few bird strikes on Wednesday. Only 2 surveys left for the year!

Very insightful and somewhat depressing.
Only had 2 people helping today so we could only do half of campus. Erin found 4 birds and I found one that was dazed from hitting a window but not dead. Poor little things!! That’s at least 10 birds this week total! :(

Fun time getting outside in the morning.

This experience was eye-opening. Never knew how many birds die running into windows on campus every day. Learned a lot about birds, and hopefully we can make a change on how our campus is designed to save some beautiful avian.
