**MULTI-NIGHT LIGHTS OUT ALERT** It's been a slow start to fall migration, but the birds are coming!

We're expecting HIGH migration tonight (September 23), with even MORE birds expected tomorrow (September 24) and Friday (September 25). That means it's time to turn LIGHTS OUT for birds! Here's what to do: ✅️ Turn off your outdoor lights when you’re not using them, especially between the hours of 12:00 AM (midnight) and 6:00 AM. ✅️ Make sure outside lights aim down and are well-shielded so that they don’t create light trespass or glare. ✅️ Install motion sensors on your outside lights so that they’re only on when needed. ✅️ When converting outdoor lights to LED, choose warm bulbs (3,000 Kelvins or under). ✅️ Draw your blinds or curtains overnight to reduce light spill. Why it helps: -Reduces collision risk by lowering skyglow and attracting fewer birds into lit urban cores. -Conserves energy and saves money by dimming or switching off non-essential lighting during peak migration. -Improves habitat quality by keeping nocturnal environments darker for resting birds near stopover hotspots.
