On Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. the David M. Hunt Library will host The Effects of Light Pollution on Birds, Wildlife and Humans with Lights Out Connecticut. Our state is located along the Atlantic Flyway, so many birds use our shoreline and green spaces to rest and refuel during their trip north. Artificial light emitted by houses, buildings, streetlights, bridges, and other structures can confuse and disorient birds, causing them to land near buildings, crash into windows, or circle around for hours until they drop from exhaustion. Light pollution also impacts other wildlife and the well-being of humans. Learn what can be done to mitigate the damage. The lecture will be given by Craig Repasz, chair and co-founder of Lights Out Connecticut and an accomplished birder.
