Luke DeGroote, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, will be our speaker. Smack! That's the sound of a bird hitting a window-and you've probably heard it often.Collisions with windows cause millions of bird fatalities every year. Luke DeGroote will discuss how Carnegie Museum of Natural History is addressing the issue by elucidating where collisions are more likely to occur, testing collision reducing markers at Powdermill Nature Reserve's experimental flight tunnel, tracking post-collision survival using new technologies, and reducing collisions through community engagement.About the Speaker: Luke DeGroote received his MSc. in Natural Resources from Ohio State and B.S. in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Since 2012, DeGroote has overseen Carnegie Museum of Natural History's avian research programs including the operation of Powdermill's Avian Research Center (PARC) where he studies songbird migration, avian disease, breeding phenology, and avian perception of glass. DeGroote aims to promote avian conservation through research, partnerships, and outreach. Hope many of you will be onscreen with us.
