We care for pets, but we love all animals! Try to keep your homes dark tonight for the bird migration!

**Lights Out Alert: Bird Highway Returns This Weekend**

Here they come! While the fall bird migration peaks in our area during September, an early wave is likely Saturday night. The wind pattern is perfect for the birds, and they will likely take advantage and move across the entire Great Lakes region. More than 200 million birds are projected by the Birdcast model. It is possible that the bird surge will be much higher than that number. The reason why is because Birdcast uses data from the GFS computer model. That model shows a good wind flow for the birds, but the European computer model shows a great pattern for migratory birds. Either way, bird traffic should be high, but it has the potential to overperform. Saturday night is a good time to turn off those outdoor lights to help this early surge of birds navigate south.

🐾 Meet the Dogs of Oxmoor Center 🐾

August is National Dog Month, and we’re celebrating the four-legged friends who make Oxmoor Center even more special.

Throughout the common area, you’ll find a gallery featuring some of our favorite pups who have visited the center over the last year – each one a familiar face to our social media community.

Stop by and stroll the center to see if you recognize a furry friend. Don’t forget to bring your own well-behaved pup for a dog friendly day at Oxmoor Center! 🦴 ❤


PS – If your fur baby is one of the featured dogs, please reach out to us and we will give you their portrait when the activation ends in September. 😊
