Not sure about the photo in that article.
My family loves birds. My mother could identify nests, eggs and species from a distance - she finished school at 15, but her curiosity was natural.
As a child, I had canaries and a love-bird;) Today, my son has dozens of hummingbird feeders in his backyard - and a family of black bears who love the nectar;)!!!!!
We are pretty much nuts!!!!!
I’ve become a bird watcher in the last few years because the place where we moved has a lot of natural habitat for wildlife. I’ve been learning and learning since moving here 6 years ago. I have a half dozen different types of bird feeders, and four more that are made for hummingbirds. So, yes, I’m pretty crazy myself. No bears where I live, though, thankfully!
Well,,, sort of.
The false claim of man made global warming has guilted nations into building literally thousands of 400 foot tall windmills that kill birds by the millions at a time. So yea, globull warming is killing birds indirectly.
Hey as long as it aint Chicken or Turkey:-)
Ha! I just saw that yesterday. Funny stuff!
“Studies say” is Newspeak for:
“Leftist propaganda says”
Ah, the age of hysterics is at hand.
I didn’t know that birds in the lower 48 couldn’t fly north?? /sarc
Seriously, there is zero reason to believe they would not.
They will be just like polar bears. Before too long they will adapt.
Remember the reports that the earth was losing all its coral reefs in the oceans. Well, some latest studies have shown that some of the coral species have changed how they are using their genes & chemistry, to withstand warmer oceans.
OMG!!!! Adaptation!!! Isn’t that what evolution is all about?
And there it is again. Did I not read that some 99% of all species that existed ever Earth went extinct due to climate change, meteor/comet impacts or volanoes blocking out the Sun? Guess what? The world went on as humans developed and prospered. I don't give a rats ass about spotted owls or some lizard or insect in the desert. There are plenty more species for the food chain.
“Using latest climate models from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,”
That was their first problem - the flawed models used as the basis for all their other predictions.
Their second error presumes that none of the birds studied have a natural instinct to live, to survive so over some few generations the birds will stick to their old ways and no adaptation by them will occur. THAT is not “science”.
The sky is falling.. the sky is falling
Global warming is scientific masturbation in a closed political system.
What about the Medieval Warming Period?
The Roman Warming Period?
When all the mile high glaciers melted about 10 or 12 thousand years ago?
Att: ALL BIRDS
ADAPT OR DIE!
Climate change threatens hundreds of North American bird species with extinction, as WINDMILLS Kill Millions Daily
and the 1.4 billion to 3.7 billion deaths from cats,...
In a round about way, the bird deaths are a result of the invented “global warming”. The wind and solar bird killers are there to prevent the “global warming”. But when you factor in that birds likely fart a lot while flying around, it’s probably better this way.
Hawks and eagles and falcons are definitely more abundant. When I was a kid there were no falcons around except for a kestrel once in a while. Seeing a hawk was was rare and exciting... on a hundred mile trip we’d see one or two, almost always a pair redtails. Now the darn things are everywhere, I see them every single day, occupying every third light post, flitting through the pine woods, soaring over meadows, and in the garden they even show up, especially the smaller kind that prefer to eat song birds. Has it ever occurred to the bird counters that the resurgence of predatory birds would have a negative impact on songbirds?
On one of my pheasant hunting trips to N.W. Kansas, we flew into Kansas City Missouri then drove across the state of Kansas. It seemed like every mile we would pass a hawk or an eagle sitting on a fence post off the side of the road......
