Mayo Clinic's Lights Causing Bird Deaths

The Mayo Clinic was asked to dim its lights, with statements saying the upward facing beams cause birds to fly into reflective windows.

A local Audobon Society reported that 231 birds were killed or injured on the grounds of the Mayo clinic over a 10-month period, which ended in June, reported the Star Tribune.

The Mayo Clinic agreed to turn off some of its lights but the Audobon volunteers are striving for more.
