In honor of World Migratory Bird Day (May 15th) STAR Net and Tangled Banks Studios are proud to announce Flight Path a new project for public libraries focused on bird conservation and science. To learn more about World Migratory Bird Day, click here.
With more than 1 billion birds killed by window strikes each year in the United States alone, STAR Net and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios aim to create a national outreach campaign that taps into the popularity of bird watching and provides local communities with simple and fun activities to get to know their local birds and promote bird health and safety.
Inspired by HHMI Tangled Bank Studios’ award-winning series Wild Hope, which highlights conservation changemakers from around the globe and features two films that shine a light on efforts to protect birds from window strikes and prevent them from getting confused by city lights when they migrate, Flight Path invites you to swoop into a robust suite of materials to create engaging and educational events that give your communities the opportunity to learn about local and regional birds, and to become local science explorers themselves.
