Somewhere between 100 million and one billion American birds are killed each year after colliding with buildings. Coastal Maine, including Wells, is in the Atlantic Flyway, an important global corridor for bird migration. Join Maine Audubon's Nick Lund to learn about which architectural features are most dangerous to birds and what steps architects and homeowners can take to reduce their impact on migration.
Nick Lund is the Outreach and Network Manager for Maine Audubon and runner of The Birdist blog. Nick is a Maine native, a writer, and an experienced conservation professional. Before joining Maine Audubon, he served as Senior Manager of the Landscape Conservation Program at the National Parks Conservation Association in Washington, DC, where he advocated for the protection of national parks from oil and gas activities.
Nick helped re-establish and lead the Washington, DC, Audubon Chapter, where he chaired the Diversity & Outreach committee. He holds a law degree from the University of Maine School of Law.
Nick has also built a large following as The Birdist for his humorous and insightful musings on birding and nature. Nicks recurring Birdists Rules of Birding columns are among National Audubons most popular. His writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Slate, and National Geographic Online.
