Thank you for posting this, Linda. . It’s a very interesting article and good news that buildings are going up with more thought about the effect on migratory birds.
Linda, Thanks for the article. Quite interesting. There was a reference to Jeanne Gang(?) experimenting with bird feeders "around her house" in her effort to discourage avian residential collisions. I wonder if that was that a reference to bird feeders attached to windows or feeders placed around the property to distract? I have always assumed that window feeders increased collisions and have wistfully veered away from window feeders assuming they increased collisions.
The American Bird Conservancy has a ton of information on its website about techniques and products to reduce bird collisions with windows and buildings. The organization has tested a variety of products to determine what's most effective. Here's a link: https://abcbirds.org/glass-collisions/
