WINDOW COLLISION MONITORING
INFO SESSION 2
VIA ZOOM SESSION
REGISTRATION CLOSES AUGUST 22nd
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY / Billions of birds die from colliding with windows annually in the United States, the second leading cause of bird deaths in North America. Nearly half of these collisions occur at residential windows, with the rest occurring in cities with larger buildings covered in glass and bright lights. Simply put, birds do not see glass.
Led by Dr. Lianne Koczur, our Science & Conservation Director, this fall you will have the opportunity to become part of a team that collects important data on bird-window strikes, which will be used to help us direct conservation actions. Learn more about what volunteering for this project entails by attending this info session!
There is another opportunity to receive the training on August 19 at 5:30pm. Please pick the session that works best for your schedule. If you are unable to attend either, but would still like to volunteer, please email Lianne at lianne@alaudubon.org. There are many ways you can be involved!

EQUITY, DIVERSITY, & INCLUSION
Through more than seventy-five years of conservation work in one of our nation’s most ecologically rich states, Alabama Audubon has seen firsthand how diversity strengthens natural communities. This same principle applies to human communities, which is why our organization is committed to providing equitable and inclusive opportunities for all Alabamians to learn about and enjoy wild birds, their habitats, and the natural world. One of the best ways to support that belief is by valuing and actively seeking to strengthen diversity among our staff, our board, and our membership. To that end, Alabama Audubon welcomes everyone to participate in our work, and strives to make our programs, classes, and events welcome, inclusive, and accessible to all.
