This is Bird Note.

Chicago Bird Coalition monitors.

That's Annette Prince, Director of Chicago Bird Collision monitors.

Since Dawn, she and others, all volunteers, have been

downtown rescuing birds that have collided with skyscrapers. In many urban

areas, collisions are the fate of hundreds of thousands of birds.

Her team's out in Chicago every morning during spring and fall migration.

Now they're bringing in birds in brown paper bags to a net. She'll transport the survivors to Willowbrook Rehabilitation

Center.

Looks like I got a Hermann Thrush, a Dark-Eyed Junk junko plus a

Nashville warbler in another hermit thrush.

And I was over here getting the sparrow,

then I heard the clunk on the glass,

and I think it was the hawk.

He might have been chasing this thrush.

So I got five, five live.

Well, look at you, that's a good day.

And three dead.

I got two thrushes, a sparrow, I'm not sure.

It's probably the immature white-throated or something, a kinglet and

ground creeper.

Here's Annette again.
