So why would a business dim their lights you ask? Well, according to KCEN, it's prime time for birds to migrate. Those lights that brighten up the state however, could cause a bird to get harmed.

Per the news organization, the season of peak migration for birds is ongoing, as it began on April 22nd, 2024. It will last until May 12th, 2024.
