Birds Are Shifting Their Migration Timing Due To Climate Change
Migratory bird species whose route passes over the continental US are changing the timing of their movements in response to climate change, new research suggests. A collaborative team of researchers observing the nighttime migratory behaviors of hundreds of “critically important” bird species found that migration timing and temperature are closely aligned with the greatest changes to migratory habits occurring in the regions that are warming the fastest. Birds who migrate in the springtime are more likely to pass by certain areas later in the year than they were two decades…
