Hundreds of millions of birds die in building collisions across the United States each year.
Nearly 1,000 birds died after flying into a Chicago building on a single day last week, a grisly death toll far surpassing past migration seasons.
One of the museum's conservation ecologists, Douglas Stotz, told National Public Radio that "in one night we had a year's worth of death".Annette Prince, director of Chicago Bird Collision Monitors. told local radio station WGN that the group found 700 to 800 birds in a single square mile it monitors.
Previously, the highest daily total of dead birds recovered at the centre was between 200 and 300 birds, he added.
