Coloradans are urged to turn off outdoor lights to assist migrating birds during their fall journey. With nearly 80% of birds migrating at night, artificial lights can disorient them, leading to collisions with buildings. Lights Out Colorado, supported by various organizations, encourages residents to shield and turn off unnecessary lights to protect these birds. The peak migration period runs from September 1 to September 24, with millions of birds already in flight. Simple actions can significantly reduce the risk of bird fatalities during this critical time.
