[Green] Bird migration and building lighting

[Joe Baker]

Hi Dawn,
I will turn off the lights on the front of the church today through May,
longer if advisable. Thank you for the links; I had no idea this kind of
detailed information relating to bird migration was available...very
impressive!
Thanks for letting me know,
Joe
