Each spring, birds take to the skies, migrating across North America from their wintering grounds in Central and South America to reach their breeding destinations. But for too many, the journey ends in tragedy. Over one billion birds die each year in the U.S. alone from collisions with glass. Disorienting nighttime lighting and untreated windows pose serious threats to these remarkable travelers. Now is the time to act for birds. Dim or turn off non-essential outdoor lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Use bird-friendly treatments to make glass visible to birds
Whether it’s your home or a commercial building, inexpensive and proven steps can make a big
difference: Treat Glass by Day, Dim Lights at Night. Help Prevent Bird Collisions !

Each spring, hundreds of migratory bird species return to North America from their wintering grounds in Central and South America. This animation highlights just 15 of these extraordinary travelers, offering a glimpse into one of nature’s most inspiring phenomena. As these birds navigate cities and landscapes on their way to breeding grounds, we have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to help keep them safe.

More than one billion birds die each year in the U.S. alone due to collisions with glass. But there are practical, effective steps we can take to make the built environment safer:

Dim non-essential lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Apply bird-friendly treatments to windows.

These actions not only reduce bird mortality, they also conserve energy and promote a healthier nighttime environment for all. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for migratory birds.
