My name is Peter G. Saenger and I work at the Acopian Center for Ornithology, Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA, with Dr. Daniel Klem, Jr., who has been studying birds striking sheet glass and plastic for over 35 years. One of our goals is to compile a comprehensive list of all species known to have collided with sheet glass or plastic (excluding birds fighting their own reflection) world-wide, country by country if possible.
As of today, 30 January 2009, the world list stands at 813 species.
We lack records from many areas and would greatly appreciate any that you could add. It would be best to have dates and location data for strikes, but simple lists of species will be appreciated if that is all that are available. These can be sent via e-mail, spread sheets, via our forms on-line at our web site (see link below), or regular mail if necessary.
You can see what species we have currently and also research papers and more if you visit our web site (link below). Go the "Birds and Windows"
Most sincerely,
