USGS has joined forces with public and private partners to create the Bird Collision Prevention Alliance and will serve as a leading agency along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, American Bird Conservancy, National Audubon Society, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Dark Sky International, Fatal Light Awareness Program and many others. This multi-sector partnership will advance efforts to address the issue of bird collisions with glass. The USGS Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) has participated in several leadership and working group efforts since February 2024 to advance the goals of this coalition. More information on the Bird Collision Prevention Alliance and its mission can be found here.
