Bird Migration & Light Pollution

Kent Marts of Lights Out Heartland will be here to discuss the creation of bird-friendly communities to provide safe passage for birds during migration.

Every year, billions of birds migrate north in the spring and south in the fall. The majority of the birds fly at night, navigating using the Moon, stars and night sky. As they pass over big cities, they can become disoriented by bright artificial lights and sky glow. Lights Out Heartland encourages the use of responsible outdoor lighting throughout the year, especially in March and September when bird migration is particularly intense. 

Kent will share principles for using responsible outdoor lighting, migration and weather tools, and how you can make your home dark sky friendly.
