“There are early notes of lighthouses in the 1800s that attracted birds, and birds would collide with them.
“We aren’t sure biologically why they’re so disoriented by light,” he said. Light has a very disorienting effect for birds, he added, though it’s not yet completely understood why that is. “What happens when artificial light is lit up is that it can override the things they use when they’ve adapted to flying in complete darkness,” said Partridge. Others adapt to flying in complete darkness and using the geomagnetism of the earth. Some use the stars and moon for navigation. Partridge explains that most birds migrate at night, a time of day when predation is less likely. Partridge says the same approach now being taken statewide is a big step forward for helping birds stay safe from the effects of artificial light, which can include both collisions with buildings, resulting in injury or death, and confusion from their natural flight patterns. during spring and fall migration, which is roughly the months of April and May and Aug. In 2021, the New York City Council passed legislation to require city-owned and -operated buildings to discontinue the use of unnecessary artificial light after 11 p.m. With regard to light, NYC Audubon created a program very similar to the one now being applied statewide. Javits Convention Center in mid-Manhattan resulted in a 90 to 95 percent reduction in bird collision deaths at the building.

In 2019, NYC Audubon successfully lobbied the New York City Council to pass a requirement that all new construction in the city use bird-friendly design materials, including windows that help birds recognize a window as a hard object and keep the bird from flying into it. Partridge, director of conservation and science for NYC Audubon, says the organization has taken a multi-pronged approach to help birds avoid confusion and collision.
