Timing Mismatch is Resulting in Fewer Birds
A study has found that shifts in the timing of spring seasons, linked to climate change, are impacting bird breeding patterns and leading to less offspring.

Our understanding of bird migrations is changing as a result of tracking devices on birds, especially for small bird species.
With the expansion of urbanization, more Canada geese are becoming year round residents instead of migratory.
With changes in temperature due to climate change, researchers looking at  24 years of radar data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have found that migrating birds were more likely to arrive at certain stops earlier than they would have twenty years ago.Â
Scientists modelled animal migrations based on global climate change patterns and created a map that showed potential future migrations of different species in North, Central, and South America.
