Don Stacy photographs a dead black-throated blue warbler with an informational card, found on the sidewalk outside of a downtown building Tuesday morning, October 25, 2022. Don Stacy and Julianne Doctor, who both work at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, walk their early morning route through downtown Jacksonville's largest buildings looking for dead or injured birds. The two are part of a program working with the Duval Audubon Society and the St. John's Audubon Society to collect data on the number and type of migratory birds found and where they were found as part of a program to reduce disorienting lighting on the downtown skyline that can cause birds to fly into buildings. In addition to a local database, the data they collect is put into an app that feeds to an international database. [Bob Self/Florida Times-Union]Jki 102522 Migratory Bird 2
