For years, McCormick Place Lakeside in Chicago was a deadly hotspot for migrating birds, with its glass façade contributing to countless collisions. After a tragic mass collision event in October 2023, building managers knew they had to act. They partnered with Feather Friendly® to install bird-friendly dot patterns across nearly two football fields’ worth of glass, a major step toward preventing future tragedies.

Now, after the Fall migration season in 2024, longtime bird monitor Dr. David Willard reports a dramatic drop in bird collisions at the site Over one billion birds die annually by colliding with glass in the U.S. alone. This is proof that change is possible, and that buildings can be part of the solution.
