Bird Friendly Campus: Analyzing Bird Window Collision Data

Summer Delehanty,

This presentation will display two years worth of collision data collected by Bird Friendly Campus, showing which buildings and architectural features are deadliest for birds. We use heat maps and dot density data to show which specific windows pose a threat to birds, and how trees and shrubbery impact collisions. We'll also discuss how we collect spatial data using our app (Avian Impact) and explore how mapping is essential to our project goals.
