🌙✨Millions of birds will be on the move this weekend!✨🌙
Did you know, most birds migrate at night between the hours of 11pm - 6am? Step outside after dusk, and you might hear them overhead!📢
Birds like warblers, thrushes, and tanagers migrate at night to:
✅ Avoid predators like hawks
✅ Take advantage of calmer, cooler air
✅ Use celestial cues to navigate flyways
You can help birds migrate safely by:
🌃Turning off unnecessary outdoor lights
🪟Making glass windows visible to prevent collisions
🏠Closing blinds at night to reduce light spill
🌿Creating safe stopover habitat in your yard
