🍂 Fall is peak bird migration season, and there are some things you can do to help.

Most birds migrate at night. 💡 Lights from buildings can disorient them and cause them to waste precious energy that they need to make their way safely to their winter habitat.

You can make a difference by doing things such as the following:
🦆 Minimizing outdoor lighting from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
🦆 Drawing the blinds or curtains on windows if you have lights on after 11 p.m.
🦆 Using down-shielded lighting outdoors

Through these small changes this season, you can help birds navigate safely. 🍁 Fall migration runs through the end of November.

ℹ️ If you're interested in learning about how many birds have migrated through Virginia so far this migration season, check out the dashboard from Cornell Lab!
