Apologies in advance if this is ever-so-slightly off topic, but I don't recall seeing any mention on the list of the new Human Ecology building on campus, south of Beebe Lake. There are a couple of huge walls of glass, one of which faces the south shore of Beebe, and another, the slope beneath Mann Library, with many large trees in both locations that as most of you know, can harbor a good assortment of migrants. I've done a few cursory checks for dead birds on the patios beneath these glass walls in the evening, but haven't turned anything up yet, although there seem to be plenty of marks on the windows indicating bird strikes. It's possible that building staff (or predators) have been removing bird carcasses before the end of the day.
Has anyone noticed any dead birds around the building, or know of any plans to mitigate potential window-strikes with decals, etc.? Thanks!
