lderman Brian Hopkins saves an American Woodcock!!!!
Alderman Hopkins is a co-sponsor of a strong bird-friendly building ordinance that mandates new building construction to use materials and designs that will reduce bird strikes with glass.
Contact your city officials! Go to: chicagocollisionscoalition.o… to let them know that an ordinance to effectively reduce bird window collisions matters to you!
Help CBCM help more birds! Volunteer or donate to our work at birdmonitors.net.
Please help Chicago Bird Collision Monitors keep helping birds like me that need protection from window strikes when we migrate through your area.

This little guy doesn't know what hit him. He was just using all his tiny energy to fly from Canada to Central America when he flew into the glass of a Chicago building.
Thank you to the concerned passerby who took the time to call CBCM about this bird.
Millions of windows in Chicago are killing birds during the spring and fall migration seasons. The city can stop building new structures that harm birds by mandating the use of bird-friendly building materials and designs.
Help us pass an ordinance requiring bird protection!

Make sure your alderperson and other city officials support required bird- friendly building practices.
