Researchers found that great tits are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars.
Writing in the journal Science, they point out that the same birds in Holland have not managed to adjust.

I wonder if we can get a federal grant to study great tits on the Outer Banks?
To: Constitution Day
Or a grant to study a whole nest full of nice young tits.
To: WakeUpAndVote
Well! Those are some nice young tits!

Please spare us the leftist tree-hugger whacko propaganda!
There IS NO human-induced global warming!
For about the twentieth time now; and this time by a team of German climatologists; there has been no increase in global temperature since 1989.
Lay off the Kool Aid friend. You’re making the rest of us look gullible like you.

To rid the cats you have to distract them, with a fake tit.

Of course I’m serious. I take seriously all threats to the world’s tit population. Glad to see the members in the subject population are able to support themselves.

I’ve heard no mention yet of the yellow-rumped warblers. How are they doing?
