Lights Out Northeast Florida Documentary (short version)

This video, created by UNF student Ryan Nugent, describes the new Lights Out Northeast Florida partnership between Duval Audubon Society, St. Johns County Audubon Society, and The Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens. Many of our favorite songbirds travel at night under the cover of darkness using the moon and stars as their guiding lights. However, bright artificial lights on buildings draw birds toward these lights and off their natural migration paths. The birds will often aimlessly circle a brightly lit building until they collide with it or collapse from exhaustion. By turning out the lights, we can remove a major source of mortality from bird populations already threatened by predators, bad weather, habitat loss due to development, food availability disruptions due to climate change, and more. Lights Out Northeast Florida is a partnership between Duval Audubon Society, St. Johns County Audubon Society, and Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, that is part of a growing number of Lights Out initiatives across the country to encourage building managers and homeowners to reduce and turn off artificial lighting at night to ensure birds safe passage during their migration. All COVID-19 precautions were followed during the making of this documentary.
