Yes, unfortunately the small song birds are in fact disappearing - they get caught during migration and fly toward large buildings with their lights still on, when no one is home.
It's been an ongoing major problem in large cities between their migratory paths. They just fly toward the light and get caught. The birds will literally try to fly up against the windows, getting mesmerized by the light, eventually tiring them out, then die of stress and exhaustion. Bird specialists as well as enthusiasts have complained about buildings keeping their lights on, but, obviously, nothing has been done about it, which is so very sad.
There are other contributing factors as well, but this one is a major one.
