If you’ve read this blog for any length of time you’ve been here with me when I’ve mourned the loss of yet another juvenile peregrine who died by hitting a window.  We lose at least one of Pittsburgh’s young peregrines this way every year.  Windows kill but now there’s a ruling in Canada that gives me hope this will change, even in the U.S.

This month Judge Melvyn Green of the Ontario Court of Justice ruled that two laws that protect birds in Canada, EPA and SARA, “are properly interpreted to prohibit the emission (intentional or unintentional) of reflected light where that reflection causes the death or injury of birds.”

In other words, massive window kills count just as much as if you’d shot the birds.  Your windows are breaking the law.

Good news! Hope word gets out quickly to architectural firms and schools, prior to designing and constructing future buildings.
