Rodriguez and O&#8217;Reilly worked on a phone app that allows users to input data on where they witness bird strikes. Rodriguez collected field data on characteristics that may facilitate bird strikes, using buildings in downtown Milwaukee. A manual will be developed for publication and distribution by the American Bird Conservancy. The Fiserv Forum, where this photo was taken, is the first certified bird-friendly professional sports arena. The arena uses fritting, a thin ceramic coating that makes glass visible to birds up close but allows the glass to retain its transparency. It signals to birds that the window is a barrier, not something fly through.
