Dark Skies Help Migration

Sea Rim State Park is one great place to see the stars. Dark skies help us focus on them, and it also helps the birds find their way during migration. Young bird lovers can get more information and activities to keep their homes equipped to help nature. The International Dark-Sky Association reports that by turning off excess lighting, we can help provide migrating birds safe passage between nesting and wintering grounds. Sky glow can distract migrating birds from their routes, leaving them weak and vulnerable to pray. Simple tips to help include:

• Keep indoor lights indoors (draw blinds)
• Turn off unnecessary lights
• Install motion sensors and timers to turn lights off when they are not needed
• Aim exterior lights down and put a shield on top. This will keep light where it belongs.
• International Dark-Sky Association offers more info for better bird migration and light pollution here.
• Get some of their brochures here.
• Want to hear an epic migration tale? They suggest reading Night Moves, published in Audubon magazine, here.
