Good to know

🌙 LIGHTS OUT CHICAGO 🌙

Migration Alert – April 23, 2026 🚨

This is part of spring migration, as birds return north from their winter homes to begin nesting and raising their young. 🌸

The BirdCast model predicts high-intensity bird migration over our region tonight, with millions of birds flying overhead as they return north for the spring. 🐦✨

Please help protect these migrating birds by turning off all non-essential lights between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Bright lights can disorient birds traveling at night, leading to dangerous and often fatal collisions.

🔌 How you can help:
• Turn off or dim exterior lighting
• Close curtains or blinds
• Avoid lighting areas that may attract birds
