 Hi Joe,
Night-migrating songbirds are starting to be reported in the area. I respectfully request that all up-ligting on FUUSM be turned off between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. from now through late May. 
Here is guidance from bird cast.info, for your optional reading: https://birdcast.info/science-to-action/lights-out/heres-how-you-can-make-a-difference/
But even better, visit birdcast.info and scroll down to see the map of bird migration as it occurred the previous night—every night. Or play this LIVE video of bird migration https://birdcast.info/migration-tools/live-migration-maps/ as it occurred every hour the previous night. Action is hottest between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., as you can see. 
Thank you!
—dawn
