Daily Mail · 3 hours ago

A well-known hawk nicknamed Chocolate has been injured after apparently colliding with the glass frontage of a recently renovated school in Portland, becoming the latest bird to be hurt by the building's design. The incident has renewed concern that the glass-heavy renovation poses an ongoing hazard to local wildlife, with Chocolate said to be the most recent in a series of such casualties at the site.

Full details of the article were not available beyond the headline, but it indicates the school's large glass frontage, installed as part of a recent renovation, has repeatedly proven dangerous for birds unable to detect the transparent or reflective surface. Chocolate appears to have some local recognition, suggesting the hawk was already known to residents or bird enthusiasts in the area before this latest injury.
