PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:Bird collisions with human-made structures are a growing concern, with millions of birds lost annually in the United States alone. Ellen Ogden, Louisiana based artist, muralist, and window painter, will lead this presentation about the critical issue of bird collisions with windows. In this program, we will learn about the staggering impact these collisions have on bird populations, methods for prevention and ecologically friendly policies. Ogden’s research forms the foundation for an artistic installation proposal at the East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, envisioned as a model for retrofitting at-risk buildings and serving as a hub for education and outreach. Creativity and conservation collide in this presentation...so birds won't.
The evening will also include Dr. Phil Stouffer, Lee F. Mason Professor at the LSU School of Renewable Natural Resources, who will present insights from a four-year project documenting bird collisions across the LSU campus.
