I am dedicating this #NationalBirdDay to the 626 injured and dead migratory birds I found that crashed into downtown NYC windows during 2021 fall migration. I found 49 different species; survivors were few. (1/6) 
Most of them were from 4 bldgs: @4WTC @3NYWTC @OneWTC @BFPLny. All found in the early hours while volunteering as a bird collision monitor for @NYCAudubon. I am just one of dozens of volunteers and I found 600+ birds during a single season. Imagine the full toll. (2/6)
Of the 49 species, ranging from hummingbirds and warblers to flickers and waterbirds, there were 142 b+w warblers, the hardest hit. Lifers for me (gah, the irony of a dead lifer) included an orange-crowned warbler, a yellow-breasted chat, and a sora. (3/6)
