Assessing the Extent of Bird-window Collision Mortality on the Pennsylvania State University Park Campus

by Chyvonne Jessick

Of the major anthropogenic-induced threats to North American avian populations, collisions with windows contribute an estimated 100 million to 1 billion mortalities annually in the United States (Loss et. al., 2014). The objective of this study was to assess the extent of bird-window collision mortality that occurs on the Pennsylvania State University Park campus.
