"Window collisions because of faulty design kill over a billion birds a year across the country. Lighting at night both exacerbates window collisions and disrupts breeding, nesting, and feeding. Therefore, bird safe building and lighting design must be incorporated up front to reduce the potential for bird collisions and nesting and foraging disruptions at the critical habitat of Sandy Creek Environmental Park and Sandy Creek wetlands."
