[mou-net] MOU-net guidelines reminder
Hello MOU members and MOU-net subscribers, As spring migration picks up and we anticipate more posts, just a friendly (and necessary) reminder to refer to our listserve guidelines: https://moumn.org/listservice.html. Specifically, please note what the listserve *should not* be used for: - Advertising products or services, unless sponsored or endorsed by the MOU or its affiliates. - Birding trip reports outside of Minnesota. - Limited and personal debates between just a few individuals; these discussions should take place privately in personal emails. - Prolonged musings or monologues about personal experiences. - Photographs and attachments cannot be included in postings; however, links to where images can be viewed are permitted. - Consider that it's often better to respond to someone's posting with a private email to them rather than a public response on MOU-net. If in doubt about what is or is not appropriate on MOU-net, please contact Bob Dunlap ( bob.dunlap...@gmail.com). Thanks all. Please continue to stay safe and healthy during the pandemic, and to bird responsibly. Best wishes for successful birding this spring!

[mou-net] Protecting birds - research on bird-friendly glass
All: This morning I came across the following post at birdforum.net. It may be of interest to some of you; I am going to chat with them later today.The sign-up process for a short Zoom call with them is very simple, following the provided link. Michael Hurben Bloomington legallyblindbirding.net --- Hello! We are a Penn State student-faculty team exploring commercial opportunities for an anti-reflective coating technology. We are supported by the National Science Foundation to conduct customer discovery. One potential use case is a sprayable/paintable glass treatment that is visible to birds and invisible to humans to prevent bird collisions. We are looking to connect with anyone involved in sustainability policy, window glass manufacturing, and building maintenance, but are also very interested in talking to homeowners, people who manage properties/buildings, or anyone who owns a few windows that birds may run into! Would you be willing to speak to us for a 15-min interview? If so please click below to sign up for a time (interviews conducted from April 5 - April 30): https://calendly.com/jkc5977/bird_friendly Thanks so much, and please feel free to share the link with friends!
