“Do Female Birds Sing? “ - Dr. Lauryn Benedict, University of Northern Colorado
They certainly do! Female bird song is more common and widespread than is generally appreciated. This presentation offers an overview of the diversity of female songs, including a few used in spectacular partner duets. Backyard birders are encouraged to advance a growing body of knowledge by listening to singing females.

Hawk Mountain is honored to partner with birdwatchers and ornithologists across the state to launch the third Pennsylvania Bird Atlas. The first step will be to hire a Bird Atlas Project Coordinator who will work closely with a Steering Committee. A top goal will be to include the first surveys of wintering birds in addition to breeding birds.
This five-year project is funded by the Pennsylvania Game Commission and will be headquartered at the Acopian Center. First, the coordinator will develop survey protocols and outreach materials for the public and birding communities, and then promote the Atlas and recruit volunteers, with surveying to begin in 2024.

Avoiding Bird-glass collisions
Birds don't understand glass and it kills a lot of them.
Even birds that fly away after a window collision, may later die due to the effects of a concussion.
Preventing Bird deaths from window hits is quite possible.
You can take action to prevent this.
