Our Lights Out for Birds campaign was featured this month on Al Despertar, the morning show on KDTV, the Univision station in San Francisco.

Golden Gate Bird Alliance member Rosi Bustamante explains spring migration — and the importance of dimming lights or drawing blinds at night to help birds stay safely on track.

View the video here, or on our Lights Out information page. Then please share it with your Spanish-speaking friends!
