'Lights Out Heartland' Aims To Keep Migrating Songbirds Flying Safe Over St. Louis

May and September are peak migratory months for songbirds.
It often takes a camping trip or a nighttime drive along a quiet stretch of highway to remind us just what a striking presence the moon and stars are. In metropolitan areas, the night sky just doesn’t look the same, especially because of all of the artificial lighting within the built environment.
But for winged creatures making their way through the sky, those lights in the universe provide more than mere scope for the imagination. It’s an important piece of how they navigate their path. And when artificial lights and skyglow from below interfere, that can create real problems, especially during May and September, the peak migratory months for songbirds.
