Lights Out in Central New York
This presentation will explore the incredible journeys that migratory birds make to Central New York every spring. Attendees will learn what kinds of BIRDS migrate through our region. Where are they going? Why do they FLY so far, and how does the SPRINGTIME eruption of insects, pollen, and sap affect the timing of MIGRATION?
Bird Collisions in the Anthropocene - Crafting Project
You'll create a replica for a travelling art exhibit about bird building collisions. Every year, nearly 2 billion birds die in the United States after colliding with windows.

Earth Day Community Celebration
The staff at Baltimore Woods has planned a day of free outdoor activities to bring community members of all ages together for the 55th anniversary of Earth Day. Participating in a stewardship/restoration in the morning and learning about the impact of plastics in the afternoon (plus just being outside in nature!) is a perfect way to make an impact locally…and globally!

Bird-Friendly Lunch n' Learn
Fatal collisions with glass windows claim the lives of up to 2 billionbirds every year in the United States. This lunch n’ learn will review the history, biology, and politics of collisions to understand why they occur and what is being done about them. It will also describe an interdisciplinary community research initiative to study this local conservation crisis at the University of Rochester’s River Campus.
Bird Collisions in the Anthropocene
In an effort to raise awareness about one of the leading causes of bird deaths, we are making replicas of every bird killed from a window collision and collected on the streets of Chicago in 2023 and we need your help! Chicago lies in the migratory path of over 300 species of birds, making it the most dangerous city in the country for our avian friends. In one night alone, 966 birds struck just one building on Chicago’s lakefront. Through crowdsourcing the crafting of these bird replicas, we will create a “carpet” of birds running over 300 feet in length. Using upcycled cloth and donated materials to create the birds, we invite citizens to help with the project through public workshops or from their own homes.
Night Sky Allies: Protecting Migratory Birds
