You can help save birds during fall migration by turning out your lights from 11pm to 6am now until Nov. 30, with peak migration happening until Oct. 29. Bright lights can cause confusion and collision with windows. Birds from all over the world travel through Houston during their migration. Houston is on an international route for migrating birds, with a billion birds flying through our night skies each migration season.
