Holly Greenberg founded the Bird Collisions in the Anthropocene art project in 2023. She relocated the project from Syracuse, New York to Evanston in fall 2023. Now, her studio sits on Greenleaf Street in the West Village business district.
The project aims to create replicas of the 10,836 birds killed by window strikes in Chicago in 2023. The birds are made through crowdsourcing, and the project has produced between 3,000 and 4,000 birds as of May 2025.
Each bird is made from donated fabric, such as used bed sheets and pillow stuffing.
Greenberg says people can implement easy fixes to prevent window strikes. Some methods she suggests are making Acopian Birdsavers, using window collision tape or marking windows with a paint pen.
The windows of the store feature art created by artist Taro Takizawa. The piece, created using hand-cut vinyl, also serves as a bird collision prevention method.
Greenberg says she loves her studio but will have to move into a bigger space once they move on to the next step of the project, which she predicts will happen in two years.
Each bird replica features a label that not only displays the deceased bird’s species name and when it died, but also the location and date the replica was created. Some information about the bird’s artist is also shown, such as their name and where they are from.
After each bird is created, Greenberg types out the information into a digital database and writes it down in a ledger.

‘Life or death for our democracy’: North Shore activists protest ICE on I-94 overpasses

North Shore Says NO! protesters stood on four Interstate 94 overpasses during rush hour on Friday mornings and evenings to protest against President Donald Trump’s administration and ICE agents in Chicagoland.
Around 25 protesters demonstrated at the Church Street location in Skokie Friday afternoon.
People held up signs toward I-94 that said phrases such as “Radical Empathy,” “Stop Fascism” and “No Kings.”
Some also faced Church Street during the protest.
Nancy Bruski, a 2nd Ward resident, proposed the idea of protesting on the overpass.
Demonstrators also held up the American flag toward the I-94.
Evanston resident Joanne Davis held up a sign toward the oncoming cars on Church Street, holding up a thumbs-up sign or cheering whenever the cars honked.
The demonstrations were first organized in September after the Trump administration announced Operation Midway Blitz.
The reaction from oncoming vehicles on the I-94 and on Church Street ranged from thumbs-up and honking to thumbs-downs and an occasional middle finger.
Morton Grove resident Jaclyn Jennetten joined the demonstration with her daughter, Olivia. The six-year-old and her mother held up signs that they had made.
