Jane Alexander – Lights Out for Birds

| Comments Off on Jane Alexander – Lights Out for Birds

Our thanks to actor, author and bird advocate Jane Alexander for telling people about Lights Out during this spring migration season. Light pollution can confuse and disorient birds, and it’s estimated that up to a billion birds die in building collisions every year. We recommend both turning off nonessential lighting from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. every night, and treating reflective glass to save birds.

Lights Out for Birds – Protect Their Journeys

| Comments Off on Lights Out for Birds – Protect Their Journeys

Spring is in the air and so are millions of migrating birds flying across the U.S. Intense lights can attract and disorient birds, drawing them into the dangers of cities. Every year close to a billion birds die in building collisions in the U.S. and Canada alone. With Texas home to several bright cities along the critical central flyway, BirdCast has made a mission of asking building owners, businesses, developers, and homeowners to turn off nonessential lights during peak migration time.
