Lights Out Connecticut: New Haven Bird Club [CANCELED]

Unfortunately, this event has been canceled.

Craig Repasz, Connecticut Ornithological Association’s Past Conservation Committee chair and past president of the New Haven Bird Club, will tell us about Lights Out CT!, a campaign to help protect migrating birds from crashing into buildings at night. Why Lights Out? Most migratory birds pass over our state at night, when temperatures are cooler and skies are less turbulent. However, artificial lights attract and disorient birds, leading to collisions with buildings. The result is catastrophic: almost 1 billion birds are killed in the United States every year. Craig will tell you more about the problem and the steps you can take to protect our birds. FREE Adult program.
