Bird Safe Portland

Bird Window strikes account for the death of millions of birds worldwide every year.  Portland Audubon is spearheading a study to determine the rate of this problem in our rapidly expanding skyline.  We have laid out early morning survey routes in 5 areas around the greater downtown area to be walked by volunteers intensively throughout the month of September.   We need your help collecting this first-ever data set in Portland!  Routes begin at sunrise (and run an hour or two) in order to find dead and injured birds before they are removed by scavengers and street and sidewalk maintenance crews.
