โ๏ธ We are in peak fall migration time! If you live in one of the major US flyways, definitely turn off lights at night (they can confuse the birds) and ask your employer to turn off lights after sunset, especially if you work in a large building.
๐ Most birds migrate under cover of darkness due to a number of factors. For smaller birds, migrating at night reduces their chances of encountering a predator. It also is cooler at night, and migrating is hard work, so the birds will not get overheated as quickly.
