Every spring and fall, billions of birds migrate through the US, mostly under the cover of darkness. This mass movement of birds must contend with a dramatically increasing but still largely unrecognized threat: light pollution.

What BirdCast needs you to do:

• Join BirdCast by committing to turn lights off from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. during critical migration periods.
• Talk with friends, businesses, elected officials, schools, and other stakeholders and get them to join the movement, too!
• Share your support for the cause via social media and with local media.
