New Yorkers Called Upon to Turn Out Lights for Birds
90,000 migrating birds die in New York City every fall

Thousands of migrating birds are killed every fall in New York City. To combat this, the New York office of the National Audubon Society is calling on New Yorkers to turn their lights out at night in the coming months.
The initiative, known as “Lights Out New York,” aims to get all New Yorkers and especially skyscraper owners to turn their lights out between Sept. 1 and Nov. 1, from midnight until dawn.
...Notable skyscrapers with lights being shut off at night include the Time Warner Center, Rockefeller Center, the Chrysler Building, Con Edison Clock Tower, the New York Times Building, and 601 Lexington Avenue.
Forest City Ratner Companies, Durst Properties, Silverstein Properties, and JP Morgan Chase Properties have also promised to turn their buildings’ lights out.
