Did you know that collisions with glass are among the most dangerous hazards that birds face as they navigate through human-altered landscapes? Thankfully, cities (such as Toronto and North Carolina) have introduced legislation designed to reduce the risk of harm. For example, in Ontario, commercial buildings must adopt measures that mitigate the effects of light pollution, or they can be charged with violating Section 14(1) of the EPA. This serves as a great reminder of the “Lights Out” program in Asheville North Carolina, who specifically leads by example. Turning out the lights is something simple that we should (and can) all adopt ourselves, during popular migration months from March-May and September-November!
