ESF Installs Bird-Strike Mitigation Murals During Peak Migration Season10/14/2026A new installation on the SUNY ESF campus is literally for the birds. New bird-strike mitigation panels combine research-based design, sustainability, and public art to make campus safer for birds, especially during peak migration season.imageDecorative bird-safe window panels featuring stylized illustrations of birds and swirling patterns are mounted in front of a glass building facade supported by large timber beams. The artwork includes a heron-like bird and a labeled house finch, creating a visual barrier designed to make the glass more visible to migrating birds.These two bird-strike mitigation murals are located outside of the Gateway Center.
