Now, there’s one more building presenting a hazard to the birds, according to Chicago Bird Collision Monitors.

“It is a new threat and a new hazard for the downtown area, in an area that already has many buildings with a lot of glass,” said Bird Collision Monitors director Annette Prince.

A place that can bring such joy to so many can also be the source of sad tragedy. I hope this isn’t the new circle of life for birds. I wish we could make them little glass detecting visors. Perhaps Sir Mitchell could be commissioned to create them IRL. Until then be safe out there birds!!
