Bird Surveys and how they help us protect birds from window strikes

Summary: What is a bird survey? There are several types of bird surveys, but today we're talking about the kind that helps us understand  how birds and buildings interact. Join Kiersten and special guest Tim Brys to learn about the bird surveys happening in Dallas, Texas and how they are helping us learn to protect birds in urban environments.   Show Notes: To volunteer with the Dallas Bird survey: https://www.tcatexas.org/lights-out-dfw Lights Out Program: https://www.audubon.org/lights-out-program  How to Bring Lights Out to a City Near You: https://www.audubon.org/news/how-bring-lights-out-city-near-you  Lights Out, Texas!: https://www.audubon.org/texas/projects/lights-out-texas  Texas Conservation Alliance: https://www.tcatexas.org/lights-out-dfw  Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center: https://abcbirds.org/news/dallas-convention-center-bird-friendly/    Audubon Action Center: https://www.audubon.org/takeaction National Audubon: https://www.audubon.org/ Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center https://dogwood.audubon.org/ Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Dogwood.Canyon.Audubon Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center TikTok: @dogwood_canyon If you have a question or comment you can email us at: [email protected]   Birds.
