    Description

    Calling all Louisville conservation advocates, citizen scientists, and birders: Help us collect data on bird-building collisions to save migrating birds!
    • Every spring and fall, millions of birds migrate each night—but many don't survive the journey.
    • The deadly effects of artificial light at night cause birds to collide with buildings and windows—including right here in Louisville.
    • The result? Billions of bird fatalities and injuries each year in the U.S. alone.
    • But with your help, we can change that.
    • This spring, join advocates from the Louisville Audubon Society's Lights Out Louisville program and Louisville Metro Government as we conduct bird-collision monitoring surveys downtown.
    • Our goal: collect localized data on bird fatalities and injuries due to window and building collisions.
    • This critical data will help guide research and advocacy efforts that aim to reduce human-made hazards to birds.
