TURN LIGHTS OUT FOR BIRDS THIS WEEKEND!

We're expecting HIGH migration activity this weekend (Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27) with MILLIONS of birds flying across Georgia. Fun fact: more than 80% of North American migratory birds (including most songbirds) migrate at night. But when they pass over brightly lit cities, they can become disoriented by artificial lights and skyglow, often causing them to collide with buildings or windows. And when birds become disoriented and keep flying instead of continuing their migration, they can become exhausted and more vulnerable to other threats in urban areas. You can help birds migrate safely just by turning out your lights this weekend! 💡 Eliminate or reduce non-essential outdoor lighting between 12 AM and 6 AM 🪟 Draw curtains or close blinds to reduce light spill from inside your home Share this post to spread the word for birds! 🐦️ 🌚
