Low Flight Height Causes Increased Bird Collisions As billions of birds take to the skies for spring migration, a new study sheds light on low-altitude flight patterns of migratory birds. Research reveals that American Woodcocks often migrate at heights where they are most vulnerable to collisions with buildings, towers, and other obstacles - and they aren’t alone. Key Findings: ➡️Woodcocks fly at lower altitudes than reported for most nocturnal migrants, which contributes to their vulnerability to building collisions. ➡️Traditional tracking methods miss many low-flying migrants, meaning the collision risk may be even higher than we realize. This study highlights that species-specific migration patterns matter when it comes to bird safety. Birds like the American Woodcock are simply more prone to building strikes than others because of their flight behavior. And with billions of birds migrating this season, the risk of window collisions is at its peak. Treat your windows with Fe...
