EXTERNAL STUDY This is a summary of an external study
This article discusses the impact of global warming on the bird population within the U.S. over the last 4 decades.

This article highlights a study by the National Audubon Society addressing the role that global warming has had for birds in North America over the past four decades.

Study Highlights:

  • 60% of the 305 avian species in North America have been shifting their migration routes an average of 35 miles north
  • Several bird species have moved north up to 200 miles
  • Coastal, high-altitude and high-latitude regions will be most impacted by global warming, in turn having the greatest impact on animals
  • Smaller species will be more effected by environmental changes due to global warming
