Walker Glass continues it series on Bird Safe Glass with an episode detailing the various levels of legislation that exist to protect birds from colliding with glass structures.

We interviewed Dr. Daniel Klem, Jr., renowned ornithologist and professor of biology at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, for insight into the current state of bird safe building legislation, as well as what we can expect to come in the future.

Our previous episodes covered "The Issue" posed by birds striking windows and other glass surfaces and "Solutions" to this widespread problem that kills up to a billion birds annually in North America.
