--:-- Amy Held: Observing them when it was lights out midday some species seemed unaffected.
--:-- Amy Held: But study co Kimberly Rosewall at Indiana University University told the science podcast most were affected.
--:-- Amy Held: They treated it like even when night lasted for four minutes and came at the completely wrong time of day, when the sun came back on at the end of that, the birds who normally sing a dawn chorus, that's what they did.
--:-- Amy Held: It sheds light on just how attuned birds are to even short changes in light, affecting migration, feeding and breeding, as humans flood the night with light pollution.
