Mayor Eric Johnson issued a proclamation declaring 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. between Sept. 27 and Oct. 17 as “Lights Out Nights” in Dallas.

Residents and businesses are urged to turn out non-essential lights at night when hundreds of millions of birds pass through Texas. The birds are disoriented by lights at night and are more likely to collide with buildings as a result, a city spokesman said.
