Every spring and fall, billions of birds migrate through the US, mostly under the cover of darkness. This mass movement of birds must contend with a dramatically increasing but still largely unrecognized threat: light pollution. Light pollution harms birds, but you can help!
Spring is in the air and so are millions of migrating birds flying across Texas. 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 getting central business districts to turn off nonessential lights during peak migration time.
