New York’s ‘lights out’ initiative protects migrating birds

Spring is a busy time for birds, such as this yellow-crowned night heron, as well as people who enjoy watching and photographing. New York DEC has made a number of recent announcements concerning birds and feeders, including cleaning and maintaining them to prevent diseases and avoid human/bear conflicts.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Office of General Services remind New Yorkers they can help protect migrating birds as they navigate night skies by participating in the ‘Lights Out’ initiative.
Joining national and international efforts, state buildings participating in Lights Out will keep non-essential outdoor lighting from affecting the ability of birds to migrate successfully throughout New York.
