Help Prevent Bird Collisions at the EBR Main Library

The Baton Rouge Audubon Society is proud to sponsor artist Ellen Ogden in creating a bird collision prevention art installation at the East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library. This project, supported in part by an Audubon Collaborative Grant, will serve as a prototype and educational tool to inspire conservation efforts across Baton Rouge.

Ellen, a frequent library patron, has for years witnessed firsthand the tragic impact of window collisions on local bird populations. With up to a billion birds lost annually in the US alone to building strikes, this initiative aims to raise awareness and promote effective solutions. As an experienced muralist and recent fellow of Loyola University's Institute of Environmental Communications, Ellen will design and implement art that not only protects birds but also engages the community through education and advocacy.

Your donation can make this vision a reality. The effectiveness of this collaboration depends on implementing very accessible solutions, and on support. Together, we can transform Baton Rouge into a leader in the Southeast in bird-safe architecture.
