Mondays with Martha #102 - World Migratory Bird Day - Light Pollution

This coming Saturday is the first half of the 2022 World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) Campaign! To celebrate I share its history and highlight key messages about this year's theme: the impact of light pollution on migratory birds. I discuss what light pollution is and how it adversely affects our migratory birds. Learn some basics steps you can take to conserve natural darkness and reduce light pollution in your local landscapes. Let's dim the lights for birds at night!
