Description

CBS Dallas/Fort Worth September 29, 2021 The Dallas skyline won't be as bright for the next few weeks. Beginning at 11:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. each day the lights on Reunion Tower, the Omni Hotel and other downtown businesses will dim their lights to 25-percent to protect birds during their migrating season. Every spring and fall, nearly two billion birds travel through Texas at night. This massive passage of birds, one of the largest on the planet, occurs at night. Artificial bright lights cause birds to become disoriented and distracted and leads to them crashing into windows and buildings.
