Dark Skies and Bird Migration In-Person
Most birds in North America migrate at night, and light pollution is a big problem for their navigation. Richard OBrien, the founder of “Lights Out Colorado” (to help migrating birds by limiting light pollution) will discuss the problem and the solutions. We can work together to make changes in our community to help birds now!
