Join us for a Bird-Safe Windows workshop by Bird Alliance of Southwestern New Mexico on Saturday, August 22 at 11:30 am - 12:30 pm.

Each year, over 1 billion birds in the US are killed by colliding into windows mostly with low-rise buildings and houses.

Birds do not perceive reflective or transparent windows as barriers, leading to frequent and often fatal strikes.

Fortunately, we can take simple cost effective steps to prevent this from happening at home!

Attend this fee workshop to learn how!
