Lights Out Texas: Fall Migration Season - Texas (Aug. 15-Nov. 30)

Aug 15 2024 - 11:00pm to Nov 30 2024 - 6:00am
Statewide TX

Lights Out Texas organizers ask that residents, building managers and businesses turn off their outdoor lights from 11 p.m. till 6 a.m. from Aug. 15 to Nov. 30 to prevent bird deaths. Outdoor lighting distracts and confuses migrating birds who typically fly at night.

Peak fall migration season is Sept. 5 to Oct. 29.

Book to be discussed: The Forest Unseen: A Year’s Watch in Nature by David George Haskell.

From Goodreads - “In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature’s path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.”

All are invited whether you have read the book or not.
