signing up to monitor additional buildings on campus</a>, recording data from your efforts and bringing any dead birds you find to Irvine 018. Click on the link to get started today!<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
While we hope we don't find dead birds, any birds we recover are frozen then made into museum specimens.

You can find out more about Bird Building Collisions and how to prevent them at the American Bird Conservancy<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Get started by signing up to monitor a building on the sign-up sheet then finding your way to Irvine 018 to pick up paper bags.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
The bags have information on how to record your data.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
If you find a dead bird, please drop it off in the bag that day so we can preserve the specimen. It is important to get the bird into the freezer as quickly as possible. We check the box twice a day!<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
