Any bright lights in Austin?

Bright lights, especially when there is a low cloud ceiling to make
all that light pollution even brighter, can cause birds to get confused
and crash into buildings and telecom towers. Thousands of songbirds
have been killed in one night by tower and sport stadium lights.

Yet another good reason to get rid of light pollution.
