Description
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.
