“Where are these signs coming from?” you think to yourself.īut, alas, the directions bewilder you just enough that you get lost and drive around in circles for a while. You have just enough gas to get there if you stay on course, but as you are driving, you notice extra road signs giving you confusing directions. Think of it like this: you are on a long drive with a specific destination in mind. They are trying to save every bit of energy that they have to evade threats and still be able to survive and produce chicks at the end of their journey or during the next breeding season. Well, when birds pass over big, bright cities at night, they are also in the middle of a constant battle for survival. These artificial lights can cause birds to crash into windows and buildings, and leave them disoriented and vulnerable. Many of these birds fly at night, making them very sensitive to bright lights coming from cities, homes and businesses. At the same time and through the course of the year, thousands of birds will soon be moving through the Pikes Peak region in the middle of their long, migratory journeys. Front porch lights, street lights, decorative lighting and interior lights shining through uncovered windows, all illuminating the night. Every night, millions of lights turn on in the city. Saving birds can start with just the flip of a switch.
