After habitat loss and cats, windows are the third largest human-caused source of mortality for birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Cornell, millions of viewers enjoy bird cams, including people who follow the beloved matriarch hawk Big Red, her mate Arthur, and their fledglings each year. But between 2012 and 2022, more than one-third\u201434%\u2014of the 33 hawks recorded on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutbirds.org\/cams\/red-tailed-hawks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the cam<\/a> have collided with windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople who watch the cams are so attached to these birds, you really feel like you know them as individuals,\u201d Chu says. \u201cSo when these tragic collisions happen, it hits really hard, just as if people were to receive news about any beloved animal they\u2019ve known in person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"A chart describing the collisions between red-tailed hawks and buildings on the Cornel campus from 2012 to 2022. 34% of the 33 hawks on the hawks cam have experienced collisions.\" class=\"wp-image-21080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-1536x1019.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-1264x839.jpg 1264w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-632x419.jpg 632w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-316x210.jpg 316w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Final-Collision-Chart-02-1-2048x1359-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Lab of Ornithology has tracked on-campus hawk collisions over the course of the past decade.

And two bus shelters on Tower Road, one of which was the site of a fatal death of a Cornell hawk fledgling in 2016, have been fitted with stripes of white tape to mark the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe great thing about Cornell,\u201d Sheppard says, \u201cis that when we started talking to people in facilities, and when we started talking to the Cornell architects, they were all really positive about this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August 2022, the University adopted new bird-friendly design and construction standards that will guide new construction, including structures, landscaping, and window designs, thanks to Chu, Sheppard, and others who worked with J.
