MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Monday night, millions of birds will fly over Wisconsin during one of the busiest migration nights of the season. Scientists are issuing a statewide "Lights Out" alert asking people to turn off nonessential outdoor lights to help keep those birds safe.
CBS 58 was joined by Alicia King, a Lights Out Wisconsin member, and executive director of the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology, to explain why the Lights Out alert is so important.
