Collisions with windows kill birds that otherwise might have survived and reproduced for years. A new study of wildlife rehabilitation data suggests the true toll of building collisions in the United States is well over 1 billion birds. To a coauthor of this study on the true scale of collision mortality, “that’s terrifying.” https://bit.ly/4gcnWvd

With welcome increases in Great Salt Lake's water level, American White Pelicans have resumed breeding on historic nesting grounds like Gunnison Island. This has allowed Audubon researchers and partners to make the long journey to Gunnison Island to help band and monitor the pelicans using tracking tags for the first time in five years. Read how banded “banded together” to restart this monitoring project: bit.ly/4e1LBwI

A concerning fact: North Carolina is losing forests in urban and suburban areas at a faster rate than anywhere else. That’s why Audubon North Carolina, alongside local chapters and partners, is launching an urban forestry program that aims to protect trees in North Carolina’s cities and advocate for bird-friendly, density-focused development instead of sprawl to help reduce habitat destruction and fragmentation. bit.ly/3ySarAi

Baby birds are a thrill to watch in the warmer months, and putting up nest boxes at home can give you a front row seat for the action. But in the summer, extreme heat can turn those boxes into death traps for eggs and nestlings. Luckily, there are steps you can take to protect breeding birds and their young, from improving airflow to reflecting bright sunlight. While this year’s nesting season is winding down, it’s never too early to start planning for next year. Time to buy some white paint! bit.ly/3Mdjpv0
