Monitoring migratory bird collisions with buildings and related questions (1 Viewer)

I've been considering to go to Baltimore city or Washington DC next spring and walk around the tall, illuminated buildings and look for stunned or dead birds that have collided with the structures. However, I have a few questions beforehand:

1. Are you able to actually do this without joining any monitoring team?
2. If you do, what should I do if I were to find a stunned bird?
3. If I were to find a dead bird, is there a way to send it to some natural history collection? If so, how should I temporarily preserve the bird?
4. Is there a way to submit my findings on a database or something similar?

Hi, Christina -
The latest issue from American Bird Conservancy came on Saturday and had an article about San Francisco's latest approach to bird safety and buildings. Here is a link that may lead you to more information on that subject:
