Doug-
Thank you for forwarding this article. Also alarming are the numbers of
birds killed by cell phone towers and power lines.

Does anyone know of any effort to reduce lighting in downtown Seattle, or if
any data is being collected for downtown Seattle collisions?

Thanks-

to any bird watcher, but the numbers turned up by Chicago's Field
Museum researchers are surprisingly high.
