SUMMARY:Learn How to Protect Northern Virginia's Birds (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Over 100 million birds migrate through northern Virginia each spring\,  and 160 million migrate through each fall. Their journeys are perilous because they can be attracted to and disoriented by brightly lit buildings and crash into them or waste precious energy flying around the lights. \nBirds that live here risk colliding with glass and other reflective surfaces\, and light pollution disrupts their feeding\, sleeping and reproduction\, as well as that of the plants and insects on which they depend. \nNorthern Virginia Bird Alliance (NVBA) has established a partnership with Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy\, DarkSky Virginia\, DarkSky NOVA\, Nature Forward\, the Friends of Dyke Marsh and the Friends of Little Hunting Creek to initiate a Bird Safe NOVA campaign. Join us for a free online program to learn more about the dangers our birds face and what you can do to make their lives less risky. Our speakers include Greg Butcher\, the recently retired Migratory Species Coordinator for U.S. Forest Service’s International Programs; Christine Shepherd\, the American Bird Conservancy’s Bird Collisions Campaign Director; and Laura Greenleaf\, the volunteer leader of DarkSky Virginia.  Registration required through the NVBA website.
