Lights Out, Birds In

How Our Community Can Help Save Migratory Birds

Each spring and fall, millions of migratory birds pass over North Texas — guided by the moon and stars on their incredible journeys. But bright city lights can throw them off course, leading to fatal collisions and exhaustion.

Join the City of McKinney and the Texas Conservation Alliance for an eye-opening presentation on how simple actions at home and in our community can make a big difference for birds — and for people too!

💡 You’ll Learn:

• How artificial light at night affects bird migration and behavior

• What the Lights Out Texas movement is doing across the state

• Easy ways to reduce light pollution and make McKinney a safer stopover for birds

• How glass collisions threaten birds and practical ways to prevent them

  
  

Together, we can make McKinney a shining example of a city that supports both wildlife and people.
