**MULTI-NIGHT LIGHTS OUT ALERT** The storm has passed, and the birds are on the move!

We're expecting two of the season's biggest migration nights so far on Sunday, October 11, and Monday, October 12. Help birds on their incredible journeys with one simple action: turn your lights out! Here's how you can help: -Turn off non-essential outdoor lights when they're not in use, especially between midnight and 6 a.m. -Make sure outdoor lights point down and are well-shielded to prevent light trespass and glare. -Install motion sensors so outdoor lights are only on when needed. When choosing LED bulbs for outdoor lighting, select warm-colored bulbs of 3,000 Kelvin or lower. -Close blinds or curtains to reduce light spilling out from inside your home. Lights Out doesn't mean turning off every light or compromising safety. It means reducing decorative and unnecessary nighttime lighting to help migrating birds navigate safely. And this effort goes beyond our homes! Share these recommendations with your workplace, school, place of worship, or local businesses. Every unnecessary light turned off can help make Georgia's skies safer for birds. Share this post and help spread the word for birds!
