Save Birds

About 100,000 birds pass over the Pittsburgh region each year during migration! Bright lighting at night can disorient a bird’s natural sense of navigation, drawing the bird toward the light and often causing window collisions. By turning off lights during peak migration seasons, you can help save birds.
