Who we are
Members of the Chicago birding community created a working group in 2016 for the advancement of a bird-friendly building ordinance for the City of Chicago. Representatives from Chicago Bird Alliance, Chicago Bird Collision Monitors, and Chicago Ornithological Society work together as "Bird Friendly Chicago," an alliance to promote a safer urban environment for birds through improved lighting, landscaping and glass features of buildings. Partner organizations and individuals are invited to join our efforts.
