Dr. Daniel Klem Jr.

Muhlenberg College, PA

Dr. Klem is a pioneer in the study of bird collisions with buildings. He has conducted extensive research on the causes and prevention of bird-window collisions. His work includes studies on bird vision, the effectiveness of bird-friendly glass, and ways to reduce bird mortality from collisions.

Dr. Christine Sheppard

American Bird Conservancy, VA

Dr. Sheppard is the Director of the Bird Collisions Program at the American Bird Conservancy. Her work focuses on understanding the causes of bird collisions with glass and developing strategies to mitigate this issue. She has been involved in research, advocacy, and the promotion of bird-friendly building designs.

Dr. Albert M. Manville II

John Hopkins, MD - Formerly with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Dr. Manville has worked extensively on bird collisions with communication towers and buildings. He has researched the impacts of tall structures on bird populations and has contributed to guidelines for making communication towers and buildings more bird-friendly.

Dr. Irene Pepperberg
