Milwaukee’s Bird Migration Night | Milwaukee News

Thousands of birds are migrating through Milwaukee this week—with Lights Out Wisconsin estimating over 24,000 passing through on Wednesday, August 26th, and nearly 19 million across the state. This peak is arriving earlier than usual, and turning off nonessential outdoor lights can help birds navigate safely by reducing disorienting light pollution. Started in 2025, Lights Out Wisconsin’s mission is simple: create darker skies during critical migration nights to protect wildlife. A small action with a big impact—dim your lights for our feathered friends. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
