Protecting Songbirds in Style

Did you know that over one billion birds die each year in North America as a result of window collisions? Windows are extremely dangerous to birds. To a bird, the window either looks invisible, and appears as a safe passage; or the glass can reflect leaves, greenery, and blue skies, which looks like a great place for a bird to fly!

Many birds also fly into windows at night because they are attracted to interior lighting. Certain birds, like the Canada Warbler, are even more likely (almost 20 times more likely!) to collide with windows. To help, Parks Canada is working on covering our windows with visual markers to prevent bird collisions. 

This PDF will teach you all about the Canada Warbler, why they are a species at risk, and how window markers can help save their lives:
