One of the most iconic buildings in Dallas will not shrine bright through most of October.
From October 1 through October 21, Reunion Tower will be turning off its lights at night but for a very good reason: to help protect migrating birds flying through North Texas.
Per FOX 4, the lights will be dimmer from sundown until 11 p.m., and turned off completely from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. They will come back on at 6 a.m. each morning.
Nearly 2 million birds travel through Texas while migrating each fall and spring, and building lights can attract those birds, causing them to become disoriented or distracted, and occasionally lead them to colliding with the building.
Though Reunion Tower will be lowering its lights, they still plan to have fall-themed light shows in October featuring things like pumpkins, scary spiders, falling leaves, and area football teams.
