Gateway Arch turns off lights in September to aid migratory birds

Gateway Arch goes dark through September to protect migrating birds

This September, the Gateway Arch in St Louis plans to turn off its lights in a bid to protect migratory birds heading south along the Mississippi Flyway. This essential route is vital for various bird species. To assist, people can keep their cats indoors, reduce outdoor lighting, and regularly clean bird feeders to help curb the spread of diseases.
