Summary edit

Description

Birds regularly collide with buildings. In many instances building collisions can be decreased by turning lights off at night and using non-reflective glass. Sadly both these measures rarely happen. In major cities groups pick up birds that have struck buildings, here is a set of "blue" birds that hit buildings in Downtown Washington D.C. and were picked up by the Lights out DC group this fall. This is a composite picture of 3 macro shots and the resulting picture is amost 5000x5000 pixels and can be printed out to likely several feet on a side without losing clarity.

Oh yes, the birds in the picture are Belted Kingfisher, Blue Jay, Indigo Bunting, Black-throated Blue Warbler (3)
