On one day last week, over 100 birds migrating south over Lake Erie crashed into buildings in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Lights Out, a volunteer group from the Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, has recovered 927 birds from August 15 to October 4: 286 that have survived and have been rehabilitated, 558 found dead on the sidewalks, and the rest either died in captivity or are currently in care. Most of those have been warblers and sparrows. Read the full story by Cleveland Scene.
