One Billion Birds Die From Building Collisions Every Year. Scientists In Oklahoma Are Using Radar To Find Solutions


/
Scott Loss, an associate professor of wildlife ecology, stands in front of the Noble Research Center at Oklahoma State University. Loss says the building is one of the top buildings on campus that they monitored for bird collisions.
Bird populations have declined over the past 30 years. According to
study in 2019, North America has 3 billion fewer birds than it did in 1970, a 29% decrease.
Scientists, including Oklahoma State University wildlife ecology professor Scott Loss, estimate that up to
1 billion birds die every year in the United States after colliding with a building a side effect of light pollution from cities. Now, researchers are using weather radar technology to track migrations with the hope to predict and prevent collisions. ....

It’s time to go dark, folks. The Houston Audubon and Mayor Sylvester Turner are asking Houstonians to turn off all nonessential lights on buildings from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the next couple of weeks. Why? To save nearly two billion birds making their way through Texas. 
April 19 to May 7 is peak season for bird migration, and Houston is situated in the Central Flyway—one of the most important avian routes. 
The Bayou City is one of the most dangerous cities for avian migration due to our location and high amounts of light pollution. Birds often travel at night and can’t tell the difference between glass and the image it reflects, so lights on buildings can disorient the flocks in potentially catastrophic ways.  ....
