Absolutely. Especially on cloudy nights. Virtually all song birds
migrate at night using stars and Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves.On
cloudy/foggy nights they can mistake the lights of a skyscraper or radio antenna
for guiding lights and perish there.
Just one night a few weeks back almost five hundred birds were found
dead under an Anoka antenna.The count of dead in the U.S. is actually in the
hundred s of thousands if not in the millions.
Turning off all uneccessary lighting is a vital tool in reducing this
kill number.
