RE: 1242 20th Street Wellness Center Project
Dear Ms. Kwok,
I write to comment on the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) prepared for the proposed 1242 20th Street Wellness Center Project (City of Santa Monica 2021). I understand this project would add 73.555 square feet of floor space in a 45-foot tall, 3- story building on 1.03 acres. Unfortunately, the analysis of baseline conditions is incomplete and flawed, and the impacts analysis neglects a potentially significant impact of glass windows on wildlife.
My qualifications for assessing habitat and identifying potential impacts to wildlife are the following. I hold a Ph.D. degree in Ecology from University of California at Davis, where I also worked for four years as a post-graduate researcher in the Department of Agronomy and Range Sciences. My research is on animal density and distribution, habitat selection, interactions between wildlife and human infrastructure/activities, and conservation of rare and endangered species. I authored numerous papers on specialstatus species issues. I served as Chair of the Conservation Affairs Committee for The Wildlife Society – Western Section. I am a member of The Wildlife Society and the Raptor Research Foundation, and I was a part-time lecturer at California State University, Sacramento. I was Associate Editor of wildlife biology’s premier scientific journal, The Journal of Wildlife Management, as well as of Biological Conservation, and I was on the Editorial Board of Environmental Management. I have performed wildlife surveys in California for 36 years. My CV is attached.
SITE VISIT
I visited the site of the proposed project for 114 minutes starting at 18:00 hours on 18 October 2021. Accompanying me was Noriko Smallwood, who is a wildlife biologist with an M.S. degree from California State University Los Angeles. Together we used binoculars to scan for wildlife from the sidewalk. Conditions were partly cloudy and mild temperature, and no wind. Despite the developed nature of the site with existing buildings and a parking lot, we saw 17 species of birds and 1 mammal (Table 1), including many birds flying over the site and many foraging or perched on the site (Photos 1- 5). Whereas some of the birds we saw were likely residents, some were likely stop-over migrants. All of the birds there used the airspace above or next to the project site (Photo 6), which was already dangerous to birds with the extensive windows on neighboring buildings (Photo 7).

6 EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
No survey for wildlife was performed at the site. The FEIR does not analyze potential project impacts to biological resources, because “suitable habitat for sensitive species, or special-status species, does not occur within the City” (DEIR page 5-7). This conclusion is derived from two related flawed premises that: (1) disturbance precludes the occurrences of special-status species, and (2) all special-status species depend solely on natural communities. Many assignments of special status have been to species that occur only in California or whose geographic ranges are small or diminishing, and some assignments of special status have been to species for their rarity. Many special-status species occur in anthropogenic environments ‒ species such as oak titmouse, California gull, yellow-billed magpie, and Nuttall’s woodpecker. Examples of species assigned special status for their rarity include peregrine falcon, Cooper’s hawk, white-tailed kite, and yellow warbler. Determinations of occurrence likelihood of wildlife species should not follow from weak or even false premises, but rather from due diligence of appropriate surveys and data base reviews performed by experienced wildlife ecologists.
In my review of eBird, I found that the site either occurs within the geographic ranges or it occurs near where others have reported sightings of at least 67 special-status species of birds (Table 2). Of these species, 33 have been reportedly seen within 1 mile of the project site. During my visit with Noriko Smallwood, I saw one of these species (redtailed hawk) flying near the site and another flying right over it (California gull). Based on these records, there is a high likelihood that special-status species use the project site. Multiple bird species likely nest at the site, and these species are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
The FEIR considers potential impacts to biological resources to consist solely of loss of terrestrial habitat, where habitat is considered to consist of vegetation cover on natural substrate. The FEIR should have analyzed potential impacts to nesting birds. Impacts can also be caused by constructing edifices that protrude into the aerosphere above the project’s footprint. Additional impacts can be caused by constructing edifices that expose volant wildlife to the fatal traps of glass windows.
The FEIR neglects a large portion of habitat that is essential to many species. To understand this part of their habitat, one must consider the very definition of habitat.
Simply put, habitat is defined by a species’ use of the environment (Hall et al. 1997, Morrison et al. 1998, Smallwood 2002). Every species on Earth is morphologically adapted through thousands of generations of life and death to exist within an environmental medium. The central medium for many species is life itself: mosses grown on trees, barnacles on whales, and tapeworms in gut. For many other species it is soil, including for many species of nematode, pocket gophers, and even California tiger salamander. For a vast number of species, it is water. Indeed, most people do not hesitate to characterize whales, fishes, squid, and shrimp as aquatic animals living in aquatic habitats. Less often appreciated is the gaseous atmosphere as a medium of life (Davy et al. 2017, Diehl et al. 2017), but it is one of the most important habitat mediums of our planet. Indeed, an entire discipline of ecology has emerged to study this essential aspect of habitat – the discipline of aeroecology (Kunz et al. 2008). 7 Table 2. Occurrence likelihoods of special-status bird species at or near the proposed project site, according to eBird (https://eBird.org), where “very close” indicates within a mile of the site, “nearby” indicates within several miles, and “in region” indicates within 30 miles or so.

Plants disseminate pollen via the aerosphere.
Plant pollinators travel from one plant to the next via the aerosphere. Spiders disperse by deploying web-parachutes to catch winds of the aerosphere. Vast numbers of insects disperse and migrate through it. Many species of vertebrate wildlife depend on it for olfactory and acoustic communication, forage, dispersal, migration, and home range patrol. Birds and bats evolved two of their four ambulatory limbs into wings that are specifically adapted to particular uses of the atmosphere: short powerful wings for speed, long slender wings for glide, and broad wings for maneuverability, as examples.
The atmosphere is so important an element of habitat to wildlife that some birds sleep while in flight, and bats and owls hunt in it in the pitch-dark of the moonless night. The aerosphere is an essential element of habitat for a vast number of wildlife species.
Certainly, we have all witnessed plants and animals using the aerosphere as habitat.
Those of us vulnerable to allergic rhinitis are aware of pollen in the aerosphere.
Mosquitos are hard to ignore. And all of us have seen birds flying from one place to another. Some of us have also had the privilege to study volant animals – animals that fly. As one of those so privileged, I have observed and recorded flights of birds and bats across thousands of hours of directed surveys. I have recorded flight patterns in behavior surveys and in 1,000 hours of nocturnal surveys by use of a thermal-imaging camera, and I have studied flying golden eagles using GPS-telemetry. My studies have particularly focused on how flights result in collisions with anthropogenic structures. I study impacts to wildlife caused by insertions of human structures into the aerosphere.
Most insertions of anthropogenic structures into the aerosphere are inserted without a thought given to their potential impacts to volant wildlife. Impacts can include habitat loss, energetic costs of having to navigate around the structure, increased predation risk from predators using the structures as hunting perches or foraging screens, and collision mortality. Electric transmission and distribution lines are hung from towers and poles with little regard for their near invisibility to birds. Communication towers are likewise installed where convenient rather than where least harmful to volant wildlife. The same is true for wind turbines (Smallwood et al. 2017) and utility-scale solar projects (Smallwood 2020). Buildings also go up without much of a thought to wildlife impacts.
But buildings often pose a second, and perhaps more deadly, threat to volant wildlife, and that is their windows. Without evolutionary experience with windows, birds are vulnerable to the transparency of many windows, to the reflectance of vegetation and other birds in many windows, to the false perception of cavity space of some windows, and to confusion caused by interior lighting issuing from windows at night.
BIRD-WINDOW COLLISION MORTALITY
At 45 feet tall before considering the 12-foot extension of equipment on the roof, the building would extend into much of the bird traffic Noriko Smallwood and I observed at the project site. The facades of the building would be composed of extensive structural 11 glass, which has been the recent trend.1 In fact, window-walls would be used. The project would introduce substantial collision hazards to an aerosphere that currently provides critically important habitat to birds, and which would act as lethal traps to flying birds.
Window collisions are often characterized as either the second or third largest source or human-caused bird mortality. The numbers behind these characterizations are often attributed to Klem’s (1990) and Dunn’s (1993) estimates of about 100 million to 1 billion bird fatalities in the USA, or more recently Loss et al.’s (2014) estimate of 365-988 million bird fatalities in the USA or Calvert et al.’s (2013) and Machtans et al.’s (2013) estimates of 22.4 million and 25 million bird fatalities in Canada, respectively.
However, these estimates were likely biased too low, because they were based on opportunistic sampling, volunteer study participation, fatality monitoring by more inexperienced than experienced searchers, and usually no adjustments made for scavenger removals of carcasses before searchers could detect them (Bracey et al. 2016).
Hundreds of thousands of birds migrate along the Pacific Flyway. Our observations during our visit to the site confirmed that birds fly through the airspace of the project.
At least 67 special-status species of bird are known to the project area (Table 2).
According to the scientific literature, many of the special-status species in Table 2 have been documented as window collision fatalities and are therefore susceptible to new structural glass installations (Supplemental Material to Basilio et al. 2020; Smallwood unpublished review). Many more species of migratory birds, newly protected by California’s revised Fish and Game Code section 3513, have also been documented as window collision victims (Basilio et al. 2020).
Nowhere in the FEIR is there any concern expressed for bird-window collision impacts, nor is there any mitigation proposed to avoid, minimize or compensate for such impacts. As I will show in the next section, many birds can be expected to be killed by windows of the proposed project. A fair argument can be made for the need to revise the EIR to adequately address this potential impact.
Project Impact Prediction
Predicting the impacts caused by loss of aerial habitat and the energetic costs of birds having to navigate around the buildings is possible, but I am unprepared to make such predictions. However, I am prepared to predict bird-window collision mortality. By the time of these comments I had reviewed and processed results of bird collision monitoring at 213 buildings and façades for which bird collisions per m2 of glass per year could be calculated and averaged (Johnson and Hudson 1976, O’Connell 2001, 1 Recent advances in structural glass engineering have contributed to a proliferation of glass windows on building façades. This proliferation is readily observable in newer buildings and in recent project planning documents, and it is represented by a worldwide 20% increase in glass manufacturing for building construction since 2016. Glass markets in the USA experienced 5% growth in both 2011 and 2016, and was forecast to grow 2.3% per year since 2016 (TMCapital 2019). Increasing window to wall ratios and glass façades have become popular for multiple reasons, including a growing demand for ‘daylighting.’
12 Somerlot 2003, Hager et al. 2008, Borden et al. 2010, Hager et al. 2013, Porter and Huang 2015, Parkins et al. 2015, Kahle et al. 2016, Ocampo-Peñuela et al. 2016, Sabo et al. 2016, Barton et al. 2017, Gomez-Moreno et al. 2018, Schneider et al. 2018, Loss et al. 2019, Brown et al. 2020, , City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services and Portland Audubon 2020, Riding et al. 2020). These study results averaged 0.073 bird deaths per m2 of glass per year (95% CI: 0.042-0.102). The FEIR provides renderings of the building’s facades, which I used to estimate the extent of glass that would be used.
I estimated the proposed project would include 579 m2 of glass on its facades, which applied to the mean fatality rate would predict at least 42 bird deaths per year (95% CI: 25‒60). The 100-year toll from this average annual fatality rate would be at least 4,232 bird deaths (95% CI: 2,513‒5,952). These estimates would be perhaps 3 times higher after accounting for the proportions of fatalities removed by scavengers or missed by fatality searchers where studies have been performed. Collision fatalities would continue until the buildings are either renovated to reduce bird collisions or they come down. If the project moves forward as proposed, and annually kills 42 birds protected by state and federal laws, then the project would cause significant unmitigated impacts.
Bird-Window Collision Factors
Below is a list of collision factors I found in the scientific literature, and which I suggest ought to be used to draft Bird-Safe Guidelines for City of Santa Monica and which ought to be used to formulate a bird-safe plan for the proposed project. Following this list are specific notes and findings taken from the literature and my own experience. (1) Inherent hazard of a structure in the airspace used for nocturnal migration or other flights
(2) Window transparency, falsely revealing passage through structure or to indoor plants
(3) Window reflectance, falsely depicting vegetation, competitors, or open airspace (4) Black hole or passage effect
(5) Window or façade extent, or proportion of façade consisting of window or other reflective surface
(6) Size of window
(7) Type of glass
(8) Lighting, which is correlated with window extent and building operations (9) Height of structure (collision mechanisms shift with height above ground) (10) Orientation of façade with respect to winds and solar exposure (11) Structural layout causing confusion and entrapment (12) Context in terms of urban-rural gradient, or surrounding extent of impervious surface vs vegetation
(13) Height, structure, and extent of vegetation grown near home or building (14) Presence of birdfeeders or other attractants
(15) Relative abundance
(16) Season of the year
(17) Ecology, demography and behavior
(18) Predatory attacks or cues provoking fear of attack 13 (19) Aggressive social interactions
(1) Inherent hazard of structure in airspace.—Not all of a structure’s collision risk can be attributed to windows. Overing (1938) reported 576 birds collided with the Washington Monument in 90 minutes on one night, 12 September 1937. The average annual fatality count had been 328 birds from 1932 through 1936. Gelb and Delacretaz (2009) and Klem et al. (2009) also reported finding collision victims at buildings lacking windows, although many fewer than they found at buildings fitted with widows. The takeaway is that any building going up at the project site would likely kill birds, although mortality would increase with larger expanses of glass.
(2) Window transparency.—Widely believed as one of the two principal factors contributing to avian collisions with buildings is the transparency of glass used in windows on the buildings (Klem 1989). Gelb and Delacretaz (2009) felt that many of the collisions they detected occurred where transparent windows revealed interior vegetation.
(3) Window reflectance.—Widely believed as one of the two principal factors contributing to avian collisions with buildings is the reflectance of glass used in windows on the buildings (Klem 1989). Reflectance can deceptively depict open airspace, vegetation as habitat destination, or competitive rivals as self-images (Klem 1989). Gelb and Delacretaz (2009) felt that many of the collisions they detected occurred toward the lower parts of buildings where large glass exteriors reflected outdoor vegetation. Klem et al. (2009) and Borden et al. (2010) also found that reflected outdoor vegetation associated positively with collisions.
(4) Black hole or passage effect.—Although this factor was not often mentioned in the bird-window collision literature, it was suggested in Sheppard and Phillips (2015). The black hole or passage effect is the deceptive appearance of a cavity or darkened ledge that certain species of bird typically approach with speed when seeking roosting sites.
The deception is achieved when shadows from awnings or the interior light conditions give the appearance of cavities or protected ledges. This factor appears potentially to be nuanced variations on transparency or reflectance or possibly an interaction effect of both of these factors. It might play a significant role in the proposed project, which includes extruded window frames of many windows.
(5) Window or façade extent.—Klem et al. (2009), Borden et al. (2010), Hager et al. (2013), Ocampo-Peñuela et al. (2016), Loss et al. (2019), Rebolo-Ifrán et al. (2019), and Riding et al. (2020) reported increased collision fatalities at buildings with larger reflective façades or higher proportions of façades composed of windows. However, Porter and Huang (2015) found a negative relationship between fatalities found and proportion of façade that was glazed.
(6) Size of window.—According to Kahle et al. (2016), collision rates were higher on large-pane windows compared to small-pane windows.
14 (7) Type of glass.—Klem et al. (2009) found that collision fatalities associated with the type of glass used on buildings. Otherwise, little attention has been directed towards the types of glass in buildings.
(8) Lighting.—Parkins et al. (2015) found that light emission from buildings correlated positively with percent glass on the façade, suggesting that lighting is linked to the extent of windows. Zink and Eckles (2010) reported fatality reductions, including an 80% reduction at a Chicago high-rise, upon the initiation of the Lights-out Program.
However, Zink and Eckles (2010) provided no information on their search effort, such as the number of searches or search interval or search area around each building. (9) Height of structure.—Except for Riding et al. (2020), I found little if any hypothesistesting related to building height, including whether another suite of factors might relate to collision victims of high-rises. Are migrants more commonly the victims of high-rises or of smaller buildings? Some of the most notorious buildings are low-rise buildings. (10) Orientation of façade.—Some studies tested façade orientation, but not convincingly. Some evidence that orientation affects collision rates was provided by Winton et al. (2018). Confounding factors such as the extent and types of windows would require large sample sizes of collision victims to parse out the variation so that some portion of it could be attributed to orientation of façade. Whether certain orientations cause disproportionately stronger or more realistic-appearing reflections ought to be testable through measurement, but counting dead birds under façades of different orientations would help.
(11) Structural layout.—Bird-safe building guidelines have illustrated examples of structural layouts associated with high rates of bird-window collisions, but little attention has been directed towards hazardous structural layouts in the scientific literature. An exception was Johnson and Hudson (1976), who found high collision rates at 3 stories of glassed-in walkways atop an open breezeway, located on a break in slope with trees on one side of the structure and open sky on the other, Washington State University.
(12) Context in urban-rural gradient.—Numbers of fatalities found in monitoring have associated negatively with increasing developed area surrounding the building (Hager et al. 2013), and positively with more rural settings (Kummer et al. 2016). (13) Height, structure and extent of vegetation near building.—Correlations have sometimes been found between collision rates and the presence or extent of vegetation near windows (Hager et al. 2008, Borden et al. 2010, Kummer et al. 2016, OcampoPeñuela et al. 2016). However, Porter and Huang (2015) found a negative relationship between fatalities found and vegetation cover near the building. In my experience, what probably matters most is the distance from the building that vegetation occurs. If the vegetation that is used by birds is very close to a glass façade, then birds coming from that glass will be less likely to attain sufficient speed upon arrival at the façade to result in a fatal injury. Too far away and there is probably no relationship. But 30 to 50 m 15 away, and birds alighting from vegetation can attain lethal speeds by the time they arrive at the windows.
(14) Presence of birdfeeders.—Dunn (1993) reported a weak correlation (r = 0.13, P <
0.001) between number of birds killed by home windows and the number of birds counted at feeders. However, Kummer and Bayne (2015) found that experimental installment of birdfeeders at homes increased bird collisions with windows 1.84-fold. (15) Relative abundance.—Collision rates have often been assumed to increase with local density or relative abundance (Klem 1989), and positive correlations have been measured (Dunn 1993, Hager et al. 2008). However, Hager and Craig (2014) found a negative correlation between fatality rates and relative abundance near buildings. (16) Season of the year.—Borden et al. (2010) found 90% of collision fatalities during spring and fall migration periods. The significance of this finding is magnified by 7-day carcass persistence rates of 0.45 and 0.35 in spring and fall, rates which were considerably lower than during winter and summer (Hager et al. 2012). In other words, the concentration of fatalities during migration seasons would increase after applying seasonally-explicit adjustments for carcass persistence. Fatalities caused by collisions into the glass façades of the project’s building would likely be concentrated in fall and spring migration periods.
(17) Ecology, demography and behavior.—Klem (1989) noted that certain types of birds were not found as common window-caused fatalities, including soaring hawks and waterbirds. Cusa et al. (2015) found that species colliding with buildings surrounded by higher levels of urban greenery were foliage gleaners, and species colliding with buildings surrounded by higher levels of urbanization were ground foragers. Sabo et al. (2016) found no difference in age class, but did find that migrants are more susceptible to collision than resident birds.
(18) Predatory attacks.—Panic flights caused by raptors were mentioned in 16% of window strike reports in Dunn’s (1993) study. I have witnessed Cooper’s hawks chasing birds into windows, including house finches next door to my home and a northern mocking bird chased directly into my office window. Predatory birds likely to collide with the project’s windows would include Peregrine falcon, red-shouldered hawk, Cooper’s hawk, and sharp-shinned hawk.
(19) Aggressive social interactions.—I found no hypothesis-testing of the roles of aggressive social interactions in the literature other than the occasional anecdotal account of birds attacking their self-images reflected from windows. However, I have witnessed birds chasing each other and sometimes these chases resulting in one of the birds hitting a window.
For most of the known or suspected collision risk factors, the proposed project’s design remains insufficiently described to determine the degree to which the project would contribute to relative collision risk. Focused study of birds in the area could reduce the uncertainty of potential project impacts. Such studies could make use of radar 16 (Gauthreaux et al. 2008) or visual scan surveys (Smallwood 2017). Key information useful for impacts assessment and mitigation would include intensity and timing of bird traffic, heights above ground, travel trajectories, and specific behaviors of birds in flight.
Window Collision Solutions
Given the magnitude of bird-window collision impacts, there are obviously great opportunities for reducing and minimizing these impacts going forward. Existing structures can be modified or retrofitted to reduce impacts, and proposed new structures can be more carefully sited, designed, and managed to minimize impacts.
However, the costs of some of these measures can be high and can vary greatly, but most importantly the efficacies of many of these measures remain uncertain. Both the costs and effectiveness of all of these measures can be better understood through experimentation and careful scientific investigation. Post-construction fatality monitoring should be an essential feature of any new building project.
Below is a listing of mitigation options, along with some notes and findings from the literature.
Any new project should be informed by preconstruction surveys of daytime and nocturnal flight activity. Such surveys can reveal the one or more façades facing the prevailing approach direction of birds, and these revelations can help prioritize where certain types of mitigation can be targeted. It is critical to formulate effective measures prior to construction, because post-construction options will be limited, likely more expensive, and probably less effective.
(1) Retrofitting to reduce impacts
(1A) Marking windows
(1B) Managing outdoor landscape vegetation
(1C) Managing indoor landscape vegetation
(1D) Managing nocturnal lighting
(1A) Marking windows.— Whereas Klem (1990) found no deterrent effect from decals on windows, Johnson and Hudson (1976) reported a fatality reduction of about 69% after placing decals on windows. In an experiment of opportunity, Ocampo-Peñuela et al. (2016) found only 2 of 86 fatalities at one of 6 buildings – the only building with windows treated with a bird deterrent film. At the building with fritted glass, bird collisions were 82% lower than at other buildings with untreated windows. Kahle et al. (2016) added external window shades to some windowed façades to reduce fatalities 82% and 95%. Brown et al. (2020) reported an 84% lower collision probability among fritted glass windows and windows treated with ORNILUX R UV. City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services and Portland Audubon (2020) reduced bird collision fatalities 94% by affixing marked Solyx window film to existing glass panels of Portland’s Columbia Building. Many external and internal glass markers have been tested experimentally, some showing no effect and some showing strong deterrent effects (Klem 1989, 1990, 2009, 2011; Klem and Saenger 2013; Rössler et al. 2015). 17 Following up on the results of Johnson and Hudson (1976), I decided to mark windows of my home, where I have documented 5 bird collision fatalities between the time I moved in and 6 years later. I marked my windows with decals delivered to me via US Postal Service from a commercial vendor. I have documented no fatalities at my windows during the 10 years hence. In my assessment, markers can be effective in some situations.
(2) Siting and Designing to minimize impacts
(2A) Deciding on location of structure
(2B) Deciding on façade and orientation
(2C) Selecting type and sizes of windows
(2D) Designing to minimize transparency through two parallel façades (2E) Designing to minimize views of interior plants
(2F) Landscaping to increase distances between windows and trees and shrubs (3) Monitoring for adaptive management to reduce impacts (3A) Systematic monitoring for fatalities to identify seasonal and spatial patterns (3B) Adjust light management, window marking and other measures as needed.
CUMULATIVE EFFECTS
With no analysis of potential project impacts to biological resources, there is of course no cumulative effects analysis related to wildlife. Considering that birds in the area fly to and from palm trees (Photo 6) and undoubtedly to other trees, it is reasonable to assume that they are also attempting to fly to reflected images of trees on the windows of buildings in the area of the project site. Bird collision mortality is likely ongoing and of large magnitude, but nobody would know about it in the absence of fatality monitoring. The EIR should be revised to not only include an analysis of the project’s potential impacts to bird mortality, but also of its contribution to cumulative impacts of bird-window collision mortality in the City of Santa Monica. Cumulative impacts of bird-window collision mortality should be addressed with the formulation of a city ordinance to guide building design, fatality monitoring and compensatory mitigation.
RECOMMENDED MITIGATION MEASURES
Guidelines on Building Design
If the project goes forward, it should adhere to the available guidelines prepared by American Bird Conservancy and New York and San Francisco. The American Bird Conservancy (ABC) produced an excellent set of guidelines that recommend actions to:
(1) Minimize use of glass; (2) Placing glass behind some type of screening (grilles, shutters, exterior shades); (3) Using glass with inherent properties to reduce collisions, such as patterns, window films, decals or tape; and (4) Turning off lights during migration seasons (Sheppard and Phillips 2015). The City of San Francisco (San Francisco Planning Department 2011) also has a set of building design guidelines, based 18 on the excellent guidelines produced by the New York City Audubon Society (Orff et al. 2007). The ABC document and both the New York and San Francisco documents provide excellent alerting of potential bird-collision hazards as well as many visual examples. The San Francisco Planning Department’s (2011) building design guidelines are more comprehensive than those of New York City, but they could have gone further.
For example, the San Francisco guidelines probably should have also covered scientific monitoring of impacts as well as compensatory mitigation for impacts that could not be avoided, minimized or reduced.
Monitoring and the use of compensatory mitigation should be incorporated at any new building project because the measures recommended in the available guidelines remain of uncertain efficacy, and even if these measures are effective, they will not reduce collision fatalities to zero. The only way to assess efficacy and to quantify postconstruction fatalities is to monitor the project for fatalities.
Fund Wildlife Rehabilitation Facilities
Compensatory mitigation ought also to include funding contributions to wildlife rehabilitation facilities to cover the costs of injured animals that will be delivered to these facilities for care. Most of the injuries would likely be caused by bird-window collisions, but some would be injured for other reasons. Many of these animals would need treatment caused by collision injuries.

Projects
Repowering wind energy projects through careful siting of new wind turbines using map-based collision hazard models to minimize impacts to volant wildlife. Funded by wind companies (principally NextEra Renewable Energy, Inc.), California Energy Commission and East Bay Regional Park District, I have collaborated with a GIS analyst and managed a crew of five field biologists performing golden eagle behavior surveys and nocturnal surveys on bats and owls. The goal is to quantify flight patterns for development of predictive models to more carefully site new wind turbines in repowering projects. Focused behavior surveys began May 2012 and continue.
Collision hazard models have been prepared for seven wind projects, three of which were built.
Planning for additional repowering projects is underway.
Test avian safety of new mixer-ejector wind turbine (MEWT). Designed and implemented a beforeafter, control-impact experimental design to test the avian safety of a new, shrouded wind turbine developed by Ogin Inc. (formerly known as FloDesign Wind Turbine Corporation). Supported by a $718,000 grant from the California Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research program and a 20% match share contribution from Ogin, I managed a crew of seven field biologists who performed periodic fatality searches and behavior surveys, carcass detection trials, nocturnal behavior surveys using a thermal camera, and spatial analyses with the collaboration of a GIS analyst. Field work began 1 April 2012 and ended 30 March 2015 without Ogin installing its MEWTs, but we still achieved multiple important scientific advances.
