🚨 LIGHTS OUT ACTION ALERT! 🚨 🚨 APRIL 9, 92 MILLION BIRDS PREDICTED 🚨 Spring migration is here, and it's time to turn your Lights Out, Texas! 1 in 3 birds migrating in the U.S. will pass through Texas this spring, and the majority of migratory birds travel at night. Light pollution disorients migrating birds, resulting in fatal collisions. Though it is important to ensure all non-essential lights are OFF from 11 pm - 6 am every night during the migratory period, ensuring lights are off during nights of high predicted migration is critical! Each night and each light turned out helps save migrating birds. Learn more and sign up for bird migration alerts: https://texanbynature.org/lightsouttexas/ #LightsOutTexas #LightsOutHouston (fb)
