I want to share a story with you about an infamous American Robin, GG-XY (for green over green on left leg, metal over yellow on right; pictured).

📸@CKaster This bird is a female who literally made the front page news last year, as the photo of her diligently feeding her young while sporting a GPS antenna festooned the feature by @APNews writer @larsonchristina.

Last yr, I helped monitor birds & bugs at the pentagon #Sept11 memorial. It was devastating. I saw thousands of birds & insects revolving around the lights, disoriented & disrupted from their nightly travels.Thread.

Those tiny specs are hundreds of #birds.

Vid @allisonhuysman The setup involved 30+ lights that projected beams super high into the air. I don’t know the specs of the height of the beams, but suffice to say you can see the light from very, very far away. The noise in the video is the sound of power needed to supply this setup. #birds
