The Field Museum is unique among major Natural History Museums for the extent to which it archives birds that have died colliding with buildings. This four-decades-long database has facilitated science that would be impossible without its volume of birds and temporal scope. In this talk, graduate students Jacob Drucker and Madison Chudzik will highlight some of this research that informs conservation action within Chicagoland and beyond.
