Presented by Brian Zinke, Executive Director of PAS

Each year, millions of birds migrate across our region under the cover of darkness. But increasing levels of artificial light at night are disorienting these travelers, drawing them into cities where they face fatal collisions with buildings, windows, and other structures.

Join us for an illuminating presentation on the Lights Out initiative, a growing effort to reduce light pollution during peak migration. In this presentation, we’ll explore why birds are vulnerable to nighttime light, examples of successful Lights Out programs, and practical steps we can take here in western Washington to help our birds navigate the night skies safely.
