Wisconsin Night Guardians for Songbirds (WiNGS)
Bird - Building Collisions:
Volunteers collect dead and injured migrant birds in downtown Milwaukee,
and transport the birds to researchers and rehabbers,
during spring and fall migrations, as part of a effort
.coordinated by the . . . Wisconsin Humane Society . . .(Contact Scott Diehl )
with assistance from the . Urban Ecology Center . . (Contact . Tim Vargo)
and instigated by the . Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative . (Contact . . Bill Mueller ) .

Following the lead of a successful effort in downtown Chicago to reduce mortality of birds caused by collisions with buildings and windows, (see http://www.lightsout.audubon.org and . http://www.birdmonitors.net) members of the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative (WBCI) are conducting a similar program in Wisconsin. The first step is determining where and how often migrant birds are killed in downtown Milwaukee. Volunteers are needed to collect these data. .
