SUMMARY:Volunteer Training/Review: Bird-Window Collision Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Window collisions kill up to 1 billion birds a year making it the second-largest threat to bird populations in the United States. The good news is that bird-window collisions are preventable when a few simple steps are taken and this can begin by gathering data. With fall migration upon us\, Michigan Audubon is looking for volunteers to monitor bird fatalities at buildings in the downtown Lansing area and on Michigan State University’s campus. \nCollecting data about bird-window collisions can help to assess high-risk buildings and inspire property owners to make changes to ensure greater safety for birds including moving plants away from windows and reducing artificial night lighting. \nMonitoring is ideally done in the early morning before specimens are removed by cleaning crews or eaten by predators\, but collection times are flexible. Specimens should be photographed and collected. Michigan Audubon will provide volunteers with the necessary equipment. \nIf interested\, please join us for a volunteer training session on Aug. 20 at 5:30 p.m. We will meet at Kelly’s Downtown (220 S. Washington Square\, Lansing\, MI 48933) for an introduction into window collision monitoring followed by a brief walk along one of the monitored routes. Volunteers are needed to walk collision monitoring routes from Aug. 15 to Oct. 31\, surveying each assigned building 2–3 times per week. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Michigan Audubon Conservation Project Coordinator Linnea Rowse at lrowse@michiganaudubon.org or 517-580-7364.

SUMMARY:Chimney Swift Tower Build at Woldumar
DESCRIPTION:Michigan Audubon is seeking volunteers to help finish building a Chimney Swift tower at Woldumar Nature Center! \nThis project benefits Chimney Swift a bird species dependent on human structures for nest sites. The Okemos High School Earth Club constructed the tower components\, so we just need to assemble the tower on site. \nAll in all\, this tower will be approximately 15 feet tall and will support one nesting pair of Chimney Swift during their summer nesting season\, or several Chimney Swift (up to 100 if we are lucky!) during their migration. \n\nWe will meet at Woldumar Nature Center (5739 Old Lansing Rd\, Lansing\, MI 48917). If you are interested in volunteering with us\, please email Conservation Program Coordinator Linnea Rowse at lrowse@michiganaudubon.org. \nIn case of rain\, this event will be postponed until Sept. 4.
