Lights Out for Birds, Now Through November 15
Help nocturnal birds that are migrating by turning off non-essential lights between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., so they can use the moon and stars to navigate safely to their wintering grounds. It’s estimated that nearly two billion birds migrate through Texas in the fall, so saving birds here impacts populations across the continent. Learn more at Lights Out, Austin!
