Hundreds of migrating birds died after hitting New York sky scrapers. The ground was littered with their bodies in the morning. Volunteers
from NYC Audubon collect the bodies and catalogue them. They also rescue the few that survive.  They picked up 77 living birds and treated them. Thirty-five of those birds survived to be released.

This happens every year during the spring and fall migrations. Every year the building owners are asked to turn down the lights at night so the birds are not drawn into collisions. The building owners are asked to do things to make the building windows visible to birds. Every year volunteers pick up hundreds of dead birds during migration season. Even though building owners claim to care about birds, every year the death toll in horrific.

TURN OUT THE LIGHTS !

Is that too much to ask?

Lights at night are not needed in offices! Blinds are easy to pull down! Save the birds - and save energy! What is it with these people?

We have been talking about this for years and nothing gets done. It would save energy and help with climate change if they turned the lights out at night. 
A lot of people are still working from home, so why do these buildings have their lights on at night. They are well aware that they are killing birds with their lights.
Why won't they change.
