Big Cities, Bright Lights And Up To 1 Billion Bird Collisions
When birds migrate, they can become attracted to and disoriented by artificial lights. The result: they end up colliding with skyscrapers and other buildings.
Up to 1 billion birds die from building collisions each year in the United States, and according to a new study, bright lights in big cities are making the problem worse.
The study, published this month in the journal , examined two-decades of satellite data and weather radar technology to determine which cities are the most dangerous for birds.
