Kane Realty going lights out for bird migration

Driving the news: This year, birds flying through the Triangle will get support from one of the city's largest property owners: Kane Realty.

• Kane Realty agreed to turn off all unnecessary lights at its office buildings — which include dozens in North Hills to the Dillon tower and Smoky Hollow development in downtown Raleigh — throughout the season.

Of note: Raleigh was the first city to establish a lights out program in the state during the spring and fall migration seasons, turning off non-essential lights on municipal buildings in the city at night.
