the policy makers will still do nothing about mandating bird-friendly glass in buildings and the second is truly bizarre - Hopefully, it will get rescued because I can't think the Bellagio fountain has a long enough runway for a loon to take off! On another note, maybe Vegas will become a new birding hotspot, but only virtually of course!:o) Derek (VARC) -----Original Message-----
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Daniel Bastaja Sent: March 4, 2024 7:45 AM To: Vanbirds <[email protected]> Subject: [vanbcbirds] Bird collisions Just last week we were talking about bird collisions with buildings and now that very thing has claimed a celebrity. Flacco, the Eurasian Eagle Owl that escaped from a zoo and has been living free in lower Manhattan for the past 9 or 10 months collided with a building and died. It was a local celebrity with multiple posts on social media every day about its doings. Too bad. tral-park-zoo#:~:text=Flaco%20was%20found%20dead%20on,liver%2C%E2%80%9D%20th e%20report%20said. In other strange news, if anybody is heading to Vegas in the next day or so, you may want to check the fountain in front of the Bellagio. A Yellow-billed Loon was swimming around in there yesterday!
