Dear bird-loving friends,

I wanted to share this great news about important steps that a notorious bird-killing building is finally taking. For years, Circa Central Park, an apartment building on the NW corner of Central Park, has been responsible for thousands of bird collisions. Thanks to the help of volunteers and the science-driven efforts of NYC Audubon, the building is nearly completed installation of bird-deterring film in the area where most of the collisions have been occurring.

Thank you for your support for this year's Fall Roost, and I look forward to seeing you there next Monday. For those of you who are still undecided, it's not too late to purchase a ticket for what's sure to be a great event.

If the Roost isn't for you, please consider donating. Every little bit helps to make changes like those at the Circa building, and protect the birds we love.

Thank you,
Mike

Dear friends and bird lovers,

As you may know, I serve on the board of directors of NYC Audubon, which works to protect birds and their habitat across the city and share the joy of birds with all New Yorkers. I hope you'll join Nicky and me at NYC Audubon's 2023 Fall Roost fundraiser, which will be held in Brooklyn for the 1st time at the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge.

The event is a perfect opportunity to support our work and come see what we're all about. We'll be honoring 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge for their commitment to sustainability and reducing bird collisions, and my colleague Jeff Kimball, director of The Central Park Effect, for his dedication to conservation and leadership of NYC Audubon. It's sure to be a terrific party, with cocktails, food, live music, and all sorts of birdy fun. 

Details are included in the attached, and you can also learn more and purchase a ticket online at https://nycaudubon.org/support-birds/support-birds-in-nyc/the-fall-roost-2023

If attending the fundraiser is not for you, please consider donating to NYC Audubon, which will help advance its mission to foster engagement with birds and nature, protect the city's wildlife, and advocate for improving the quality of life for both birds and people. 

I hope to see you there! 

Thanks,
Mike
