<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Archivo">dBird has been an invaluable tool for documenting local instances of bird-window collisions and other human-caused bird death (e.g., vehicle collisions, entanglement).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Archivo"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Archivo">Collisions are a huge problem, globally and locally. The data we’ve collected through standardized collision monitoring surveys suggest that
<b>hundreds of thousands of fatal collision events are possible each year in Seattle alone</b>.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Archivo"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Archivo">We use photos and stories submitted to dBird to educate people about the danger of transparent and reflective glass. We also use them to advocate for policies that would make our cities safer for birds
to move through. We’re making progress. UW adopted a bird-friendly campus policy. And a city policy specialist has begun work on what bird-safe building regulations could look like for Seattle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Archivo"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Archivo">It only takes a minute to submit a report to dBird. There’s no need to create an account. Simply share a few details about the bird and where / when you found it, and that’s it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
