For years, McCormick Place Lakeside in Chicago was a deadly hotspot for migrating birds, with its glass façade contributing to countless collisions. After a tragic mass collision event in October 2023, building managers knew they had to act. They partnered with Feather Friendly® to install bird-friendly dot patterns across nearly two football fields’ worth of glass, a major step toward preventing future tragedies.

Now, after the Fall migration season in 2024, longtime bird monitor Dr. David Willard reports a dramatic drop in bird collisions at the site Over one billion birds die annually by colliding with glass in the U.S. alone. This is proof that change is possible, and that buildings can be part of the solution.

Each spring, birds take to the skies, migrating across North America from their wintering grounds in Central and South America to reach their breeding destinations. But for too many, the journey ends in tragedy. Over one billion birds die each year in the U.S. alone from collisions with glass. Disorienting nighttime lighting and untreated windows pose serious threats to these remarkable travelers. Now is the time to act for birds. Dim or turn off non-essential outdoor lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Use bird-friendly treatments to make glass visible to birds
Whether it’s your home or a commercial building, inexpensive and proven steps can make a big
difference: Treat Glass by Day, Dim Lights at Night. Help Prevent Bird Collisions !

Each spring, hundreds of migratory bird species return to North America from their wintering grounds in Central and South America. This animation highlights just 15 of these extraordinary travelers, offering a glimpse into one of nature’s most inspiring phenomena. As these birds navigate cities and landscapes on their way to breeding grounds, we have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to help keep them safe.

More than one billion birds die each year in the U.S. alone due to collisions with glass. But there are practical, effective steps we can take to make the built environment safer:

Dim non-essential lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Apply bird-friendly treatments to windows.

These actions not only reduce bird mortality, they also conserve energy and promote a healthier nighttime environment for all. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for migratory birds.
