One of the saddest results of these lights is the destruction of
millions , perhaps hundreds of millions, of migrating birds. On cloudy nights
songbirds apparently mistake the lights on masts, radio towers or tall
buildings for guiding stars ( virtually all songbirds migrate at night ).
They run into the guy wires, buildings or sometimes, just circle the supposed
star until they fall .
I believe this is an issue that all major cities have a need to address.
