This is such an important message from the Fatal Light Awareness Program Canada…birds migrate at night. Turn your lights off.

The weather in southern Ontario the last few days has been slowing down migration significantly, and we have been seeing fewer birds than normal during this years #GlobalBirdRescue. Things seem to be picking up slightly, as today FLAP volunteers have recorded over 40 birds that have collided with windows in the Greater Toronto Area.

There were eight of them found in the downtown core. Six Black-throated Blue Warblers, an American Redstart and a Red-eyed Vireo.

We can make changes today, to save birds! Turn lights off at night, and treat your home and cottage windows to be bird safe.
