Oddbean new post about login | logout Buildings are extremely deadly for migrating #birds every year, but they can be designed & updated to minimize collisions. https://birdcast.info/news/major-collision-event-in-chicago-4-5-october-2023/
Mortality for birds from collision with buildings is much higher than most folks realize. Although it’s worth noting that the toll is still vastly lower than deaths from cats. Data from U.S. Fish & Wildlife. Also, bc it needs to be stated - this is not a post against cats. /2 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/188/251/338/759/991/original/bc348e2ef4866a97.jpeg
@b5cdaf1a Deer are slaughtered daily on the highways. As time moves forward the smart deer who look both ways will live on to breed a smarter, more cautious offspring. The deer who walk into traffic will become a food source for the birds smart enough to avoid windmills. Ahh..the circle of life.
