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.
