[Anonymous]

!Migration Alert! BirdCast is predicting a huge number of birds migrating across the Central and Eastern U.S. for the next three nights. According to BirdCast 120,800 birds crossed Washington, DC last night - https://dashboard.birdcast.info/region/US-DC

Please turn off nonessential indoor and outdoor lights for birds. Sadly, birds can be disoriented by light pollution, contributing to the hundreds of millions of birds estimated to die in building collisions in the U.S. every year.

Thanks for posting, too many people leave lights on all night or have solar lights that don’t turn off until dawn.
