LIGHTS OUT

Birds have a problem. In fact, a lot of nature is having the problem from the smallest of insects to creatures that slink through the night.

“Millions of birds migrate across Texas every spring and every fall,” Soll Sussman, communications team leader for the Lights Out Hays County coalition, said. “Lights can distract them and disorient them and in some cases kill them… It is important to save as many as we can. Bird populations and insect populations are declining and light pollution plays a big part in those declines.”

Spring bird migration is heading toward its peak nights, and the Lights Out Hays County coalition is working to help protect the billions of birds migrating through Texas.
