The lab walked a route of 17 buildings on campus daily and searched the perimeter of each building for dead birds or evidence of bird window collisions. Collected birds are turned into study skins for Ohio University\u2019s Ornithology class and kept in the Museum of Zoology. Since starting the program in the fall of 2023, we recovered 75 bird carcasses across 15 different families. During our fall semesters, we recovered 56 birds, and during the spring semesters, we recovered 19 birds. Heritage Hall has the most bird-window collisions out of the 17 buildings surveyed. We will continue our study into next semester. Our work brings awareness to bird window collisions at our university and highlights the steps individuals can take to mitigate bird window collisions at small and large scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"776\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Collision-birds-1024x776.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Collision-birds-1024x776.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Collision-birds-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Collision-birds-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Collision-birds-1536x1164.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Collision-birds-2048x1552.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Study skins created from our window collision monitoring program<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><mark><br><\/mark><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/9.28.24_Heritage_GRCA-771x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/9.28.24_Heritage_GRCA-771x1024.jpeg 771w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/9.28.24_Heritage_GRCA-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/9.28.24_Heritage_GRCA-768x1020.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/9.28.24_Heritage_GRCA-1157x1536.jpeg 1157w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/9.28.24_Heritage_GRCA-1542x2048.jpeg 1542w, https:\/\/sites.ohio.edu\/williams-kelly\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/9.28.24_Heritage_GRCA-scaled.jpeg 1928w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gray Catbird collision with window of Heritage Hall at Ohio University<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-1 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized\">\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-base-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d89aad35 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-549b0c86 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\">CONSERVATION CORNER<\/mark><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\">Banding Recap<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>October 5, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\">The Williams Lab had a successful banding day on Saturday, October 4!
