Join Aiken Audubon Society and Kaitlyn Parkins on November 18, 2026 as she presents via zoom.

Have you ever heard the unmistakable “thud” of a bird striking a window and rushed to its aid? Or perhaps you’ve come across a stunned bird on the sidewalk? You’re not alone. In the United States, more than 1 billion birds lose their lives to window collisions annually. The good news? There are effective ways to prevent these tragedies— from simple fixes at home to promoting bird-friendly policies in your area. In this webinar, American Bird Conservancy’s Kaitlyn Parkins will discuss the reasons behind bird-window collisions, the most effective strategies for preventing these incidents, how bird-friendly materials are tested and rated, and ways to support initiatives for safer, bird-friendly building designs in your community

Bio: Kaitlyn Parkins, M.S., is the Glass Collisions Program Coordinator at American Bird Conservancy, where she focuses on reducing bird-window collisions through education, outreach, glass testing, research, and policy solutions. Her work ranges from helping individuals and communities address collisions at specific buildings to working with architects, advocates, and organizations on broader efforts to make buildings safer for birds

This is an in-person meeting held at the Colorado Parks & Wildlife Office; 4255 Sinton Road 80907. Our entrance to the building is located on the EAST side (back side) of the building; not the main entrance. Parking is encouraged in the south and west parking lots.
