BirdNET BirdWeather study links light pollution to longer bird activity
Ornithologist Pease and Oklahoma State's Neil Gilbert analyze BirdWeather data from sound sensors to show birds extend activity by about an hour in bright landscapes. Larger eyed species and migratory birds show stronger responses, cavity nesters less affected, with implications for sleep, energy use, and fledgling success. The project invites public participation and links to teaching, urging reduced nighttime lighting during migration.
