Enhanced Nighttime Conditions Will Safeguard Migrating Birds on Long Island

In an effort to protect migrating birds during their spring journey, Long Island’s Town of Southampton is advocating for darker skies by promoting environmentally friendly lighting practices. With thousands of birds crossing the skies, artificial light poses significant hazards, causing disorientation and fatal collisions with buildings. The Southampton Dark Skies Advisory Committee has enforced regulations that require outdoor lighting to be turned off by 10 p.m., fostering safe navigation for avian travelers. Local advocates, like Olivia Motch, emphasize the importance of community involvement in adhering to these codes to help reduce bird fatalities, highlighting the need for education about the benefits of preserving dark environments for both wildlife and human safety.
