We’re beyond excited that the inimitable sambentley has shared about our McCormickPlace project with his community, and now we get to share his video with ours!
This one means a lot. McCormick Place has witnessed a 95% drop in bird collisions after installing our markers, and has now become a mascot for corporate stewardship.
This kind of impact doesn’t happen in a vacuum; as our VP pgroleau70 says, “It takes a village.”
Huge thanks to the people and groups who’ve been pushing for change long before a single Feather Friendly marker went up —
➡️The FieldMuseum Dave Willard for his tireless collision monitoring efforts
➡️ americanbirdconservancy
➡️ chicagobirdcollisionmonitors
➡️ chicago_birder
...and everyone who’s dedicated their lives to making cities safer for birds.
Sam said it best: “You’ve probably seen these dots and never realized what they do.”
Turns out, they’re saving lives.
