🚨 LIGHTS OUT ACTION ALERT🚨
Houston Audubon and partners recommend buildings three stories and higher, and those with exterior lighting to turn LIGHTS OUT for the next three nights (September 13-16, 2020). This means today until September 16 turn your outdoor lights off.

Bird migration for the region is predicted to be high for the next three nights by Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s BirdCast Program. This means that over 28,000 birds per kilometer per hour will be traveling over our region, possibly stopping to rest and refuel. Tonight this high migration coincides with some precipitation, increasing the likelihood that migrating birds will be grounded.

By turning off unnecessary lights at night, both at work and at home, during periods of migration, you can help dramatically reduce hazards from attraction to and disorientation by light, allowing our avian neighbors to safely proceed on their journeys through the Houston-Gulf region.

With grounded birds in the region for the next few days, daytime collisions at ground level will also be greatly increased. Please limit dangerous threats such as reflective glass surfaces and outdoor predators such as house cats.

For more information on Houston Audubon's Lights Out for Birds program, or to pledge to turn your lights out for birds, visit the Lights Out for Birds web page at https://houstonaudubon.org/conservation/bird-friendly-communities/lights-out.html.
