Congress finds that— nearly 1/3 of the 800 bird species in the United States are endangered, threatened, or in significant decline; in the United States alone, an estimated 1,000,000,000 birds die annually from striking buildings, bridges, and other manmade structures, with glass being one of the primary causes of the deaths; birds have a significant impact on the United States economy, as evidenced by United States Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that the 47,000,000 birdwatchers in the United States contribute $40,000,000,000 annually to the economy of the United States; and the General Services Administration is obligated, under Executive Order 13186 ( 16 U.S.C. 701 note; relating to responsibilities of Federal agencies to protect migratory birds), to support the conservation intent of the migratory bird conventions by integrating bird conservation principles, measures, and practices into agency activities and by avoiding or minimizing, to the extent practicable, adverse impacts on migratory bird resources when conducting agency actions .
