There had only ever been 2 Pileated Woodpeckers reported on the Global Bird Collision Mapper in Toronto, but yesterday a third was added. This Pileated Woodpecker was found near Spadina/Lakeshore yesterday by a member of the public. She collided at a small low rise building.

Still a bit early to say, but right now it looks like we’ll be getting into significantly warmer temperatures and south winds next week, starting around Monday. If this plays out Ontario is in store for a huge uptick in migrants! #birding
We are pleased to announce that Lights out Toronto has been relaunched! This city-wide campaign encourages the public to turn off unnecessary lights at night to protect birds from fatal collisions with glass. toronto.ca/LightsOut

Tonight is #EarthHour ! From 8:30 to 9:30 you can switch off and give an hour for earth. But why stop there? We are heading into spring migration and light pollution directly harms migratory birds. To help keep birds safe this spring, consider turning off lights at night.
Unfortunately, during rescue patrols, FLAP volunteers have picked up 16 different species of sparrows. The most frequently found, is the White-throated Sparrow, with over 7000 individual birds reported on the GBCM (birdmapper.org) by our volunteers.

[Alt text for accessibility: a female pileated woodpecker with her brilliant red crown lies dead on her side on the pavement after colliding with a building]
There had only ever been 2 Pileated Woodpeckers reported on the Global Bird Collision Mapper in Toronto, but yesterday a third was added. This Pileated Woodpecker was found near Spadina/Lakeshore yesterday by a member of the public. She collided at a small low rise building.
Decided to watch the eclipse from @FanshaweCA to observe effects on wildlife. The highlight for me was during the totality when I raised my hand to point at the sky and a chickadee came out of nowhere and suddenly landed on it looking for a snack.
Still a bit early to say, but right now it looks like we’ll be getting into significantly warmer temperatures and south winds next week, starting around Monday. If this plays out Ontario is in store for a huge uptick in migrants! #birding
I can’t help but smile every time I pass one of these on campus. I’m forever grateful to be part of a university community who cares about our relatives and #coexistence

@FLAPCanada just emailed y'all! Thank you for the effort to give an appropriate destination to these specimens.
🆕Check out this feature in the Ontario Field Ornithologists @ofobirds newsletter about advocating for the Bird-Safe Windows Act (Bill 145) with @chrisgloverndp @FLAPCanada and many others. The Act would update Ontario’s Building Code to save millions of birds’ lives🐦
Done! Also emailed two city councillors described online as "environmental advocates" and relevant staff who work for the city.
For example, although I'm not aware of anyone having undertaken building monitoring in Thunder Bay, there are local records of bird strikes publicly available on @inaturalist. I consolidated records into a project, and am sharing a link with my submission. inaturalist.org/projects/bird-…

We are saddened to report that Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl discovered missing from @centralparkzoo after his exhibit was vandalized just over a year ago, is dead after an apparent collision with a building on West 89th Street in Manhattan. bit.ly/3I9o3b8
While the death of Flaco is a tragedy, each year 1 billion birds die in North America from window collisions, including thousands in Chicago alone. Each of these birds, down to the drabbest little flycatcher, is worthy of mourning. Window collisions are preventable. We must act.

Happy #NationalWildlifeDay! 💚 Thanks to our community, volunteers & staff who make a difference for our wild neighbours. In 2023, 72 Species-at-Risk patients were admitted needing urgent care. Here are some that were helped thanks to caring individuals who brought them in!
In Canada, 100 million birds a year are killed by outdoor #cats and up to 40 million in window strikes; @FLAPCanada highlights the issue on @TheCurrentCBC #TOnature #UrbanNature
After striking a window, this Dark-eyed Junco was unable to fly. After receiving treatment and a few test flights in our flight pen, it was released. Test flights help us better evaluate the birds in our care and prepare them for release. #salthavenwildlife #wildliferelease
We've very grateful to @CraigCassar and the other councillors who are addressing this issue. Daytime window strikes like this are very common. Window treatments from companies like @FeatherFriendly are extremely effective in prevention. @cityofhamilton #birdfriendly
Thanks to Brendon Samuels for a productive meeting at City Hall yesterday evening. One topic was bird friendly design and its importance was underscored when a hawk suffered a fatal window collision at CH yesterday. Stay tuned for bird friendly motions coming soon. @eyeonthefly
