Every year, nearly one billion birds collide with glass in the U.S. While most people consider bird collisions with glass to be an urban phenomenon involving tall, mirrored-glass skyscrapers, the reality is that 56% of collision mortality occurs at low-rise buildings (i.e., one to four stories), 44% at urban and rural residences, and <1% at high-rise buildings (Loss et al. 2014). Many government facilities and refuge visitor centers fit the description of the buildings involved in most bird collisions
