It’s a good night to help protect migrating birds by turning exterior lights out.

LIGHTS OUT. Tonight (Wednesday, September 27, 2023) is a “medium” alert night for bird migration. But “medium” is not nothing; 424,000 birds will be passing over and through Connecticut, as this map produced by Colorado State University’s Aeroeco lab shows. So it’s a good night to help protect those migrating birds by turning out exterior lights.
