Here in Northeast Florida, we have an opportunity to make a difference for migrating birds, both by providing habitat and making the nighttime skies darker and safer for them.
HABITAT
*Put a birdbath in your yard
*Plant native trees and shrubs that attract insects and produce berries
*Keep cats indoors
More about creating habitat from the University of Florida:
DARK SKIES
*Reduce outdoor lighting use between 11 PM and 6 AM
*Use red or green lighting
*Face outdoor lights downward
*Encourage businesses and neighbors to help
Learn more about bird-friendly lighting:
Palm Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Northern Parula, Plovers and other shorebirds, Indigo Buntings, and Purple Martins are some of the birds leaving coastal Florida every night. More local information from Duval County Audubon:
Reducing light pollution in spring and fall helps birds navigate safely. Check out real-time, live maps of local and national migration:
