Luke, "With the exception of habitat destruction, a vast amount of evidence,primarily collected over the last 35 years, indicates that clear and reflective sheet glass causes the unintended deaths of more birds worldwide than any other human-related avian mortality factor." So states the opening sentence in an article entitled "Windows: An Unintended Fatal Hazard For Birds" by Dr. Daniel Klem Jr., Professor of Biology at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. His article appears in "Connecticut - State of The Birds" put out by Connecticut Audubon this year. To put the glass kill issue in perspective, the author states that the data shows an annual bird kill of 100 million birds by glass is considered ultra-conservative. Yet, that 100 million figure is 333 times more than the 300,000 marine birds estimated to be killed in the Exxon Valdez wreck - and it happens every year.
