There are dead birds at my building. What can I do?

Drop us a note: WashtenawSafePassage@gmail.com
Volunteers are always appreciated! Checking a problem building 2-3 times per week (April  through October) can help establish baseline data and allow us to work towards finding bird safe solutions for problem windows. We can provide bags and coordinate transportation of specimens to the University of Michigan collection.
