I went to the websites for State Parks (NYSOPRHP), Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce, and Visit Ithaca, used the Contact Us feature of each, and briefly asked them to please not do a light show in the gorge due to potential disturbance of the Peregrines and Ravens nesting there.

Below is the press release for the evening light shows at the great falls in Taughannock Falls State Park later this week, which have potential to disturb the Peregrine Falcons and Ravens that are currently on nests there).
Note that the event is jointly hosted by NYS Parks, Visit Ithaca, and also the Tompkins Chamber, which is handling online registration for after-dark hikes up the gorge trail to the lighted falls.
