Lights Out for Birds: A Documentary Screening and Panel Conversation

The film explores the extraordinary migration of birds across Texas and reveals how light pollution and architectural elements can impact their ancient celestial pathways. Through the lens of science, conservation, and community action, Lights Out Texas highlights the remarkable collaboration between researchers, educators, and advocates working to protect these vulnerable travelers.
