Help save migratory birds

Occupants of buildings floors five and above are being asked to pull their drapes or close shades between 11 p.m. and dawn in order to prevent needless deaths of migratory birds, according to Sherri Smith of the Audobon Society. She explains from the middle of March through the end of May, migrating birds will be flying over Ann Arbor on their way north to their breeding grounds. Birds are at risk of dying when they hit the lit windows of tall buildings. On clear nights they navigate by the stars, but on cloudy and foggy nights they attempt to navigate using the lights of tall buildings. They either crash into lit windows going full speed, or they endlessly circle the building until they drop to the ground exhausted and various bad things happen to them.
