Shut those lights off! Spring migration is underway! 🐦🌎 From March through mid-June, billions of birds travel from their southern wintering grounds to northern breeding habitats — with peak migration happening from mid-April to mid-May. As temperatures rise, this incredible movement sweeps north like a wave, reaching northern states by mid-May.
You may spot:
🟡 Warblers
🟢 Shorebirds
🦅 Raptors
🦆 Waterfowl like ducks, geese, and swans
💜 Purple martins (some begin moving as early as February!)
Most songbirds migrate at night, flying in cooler air to avoid turbulence and predators.
You can help migrating birds:
💡 Reduce light pollution – Turn off non-essential outdoor lights between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. to prevent disorientation.
🌳 Provide habitat – Plant native trees, shrubs, and flowers to supply insects, food, and shelter for resting birds.
And please see my important comment below.

Each migration season, billions of birds travel through the U.S., the majority of them flying at night. But they’re facing a dramatically increasing threat: light pollution. Pledge to stand with us as we call on building owners, managers, and homeowners to turn off excess lighting during the months of bird migration to prevent these needless deaths and ensure that these birds have a safe passage when it's time to migrate: bit.ly/4c6Art0
