We are excited to share that Gonzaga University and have taken a HUGE step in helping to save the lives of hundreds of local birds!!!! Following a significant mortality event on some of their buildings last year where over 35 birds were killed after hitting glass windows, GU worked to prevent this from happening again. Earlier this month they installed mats on the outside of dangerous windows. These mats contain closely spaced dots that make the glass visible to birds.

Research from multiple different agencies and NGO's support that an estimated 1 BILLION birds are killed from hitting glass windows every year in the US alone. Those losses are further amplified if these birds are tending to young who then won't survive. Spokane Audubon Society is working with local businesses and organizations to protect more windows to prevent unnecessary bird deaths and help to !

To volunteer on one of our upcoming projects or donate to support these projects visit our website/link in bio.
