Sunday night birds were gifted helpful winds. Millions took to the wing, eager to begin their long journey home. Unfortunately, Chicago stood in their way. We rescued 80+ injured and salvaged 160+ dead birds Monday morning. It doesn't have to be this way. Mayor Brandon Johnson

Thank you to McCormick Place for showing that making windows safe for birds is both doable and important. We hope other building will follow your leadership with these life-saving retrofits.

This along with changes to the lighting regime at McCormick Place has the potential to be a huge game-changer. In the first month of fall migration, the number of birds dying at McCormick has been reduced by more than 90% from last fall. Thank you, McCormick for taking action.

It's that time of year! Fall and winter holiday decor can enhance the festivities for humans, but they can be dangerous for birds and other wildlife. Visit The Chicago Birder blog for information on keeping birds safe during the spooky and holiday seasons. chicagobirder.org/blog/2023/10/1…

This #NorthernFlicker clung to the ledge of a window after striking the glass. Her head and eyes drooped, signs she suffered head trauma. Many don’t survive injuries like these. Help prevent this by making windows bird-safe. Visit birdsafe.ca & featherfriendly.com

Last month CBCM director Annette Prince spoke with Lisa Dent of WGN Radio 720 about this issue of duck dumping in the city. Listen in to hear about why this is a problem, and what can be done to prevent it: wgnradio.com/lisa-dent/duck…

Sad news from the Chicago Peregrine Program. Ben, the male falcon from the Wacker site, was found dead today. He appears to have crashed into a building while chasing prey. More information can be found here: facebook.com/IllinoisPeregr…

It's been a busy October! Our partner, DuPage Wildlife Conservation Center, gave a behind the scenes look last week of what happens to the birds we find in Chicago and place in their care. See the full report here: facebook.com/dupagewildlife…

On October 5, 2023, children starting their day at National Teachers Academy stood helpless as birds flew into their school's glass walkway. Now these students need help funding their effort to make their school bird safe. Consider contributing today! gofundme.com/f/help-nta-stu…
