On World Migratory Bird Day, we celebrate the hundreds of millions of birds making their way north now during peak spring migration, flying thousands of miles to reach their breeding grounds as they’ve done for centuries. We humans have made their journeys much more perilous by destroying their critical habitat, puncturing their dark sky with bright lights and placing invisible obstacles at every pitstop. At WBF, we admit 2,000 birds a year who’ve collided with windows in NYC, and these are a tiny fraction of those who die in the city every year this way. Please join us in committing to safeguarding the journeys of these birds! Turn out lights at night, mark your windows so birds can see them, advocate for bird-friendly windows at your office or apartment building and talk to everyone you know about this problem. And go out and see some birds today! They are singing, foraging and bringing immense beauty into our parks. 📷: Phyllis Tseng, Lily Lugo
