California drought shrinks winter digs for migratory birds
2015-11-07 14:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: With their red heads, 7-foot (2.13 m) wingspan and a trilling call, migrating Sandhill Cranes provide a dramatic sunset spectacle as they land by the thousands in wetlands near Sacramento each night during the fall and winter. But the state's ongoing drought has left the cranes, along with millions of other waterfowl that migrate from Canada and other northern climes to spend the winter in California, with fewer places to land, threatening their health as they crowd in on one another to seek shelter...

Climate change to shrink habitat for rarest Hawaii birds
2015-10-28 23:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: By the end of this century, a warming climate may wipe out available habitat for some of Hawaii's rarest birds, researchers warned on Wednesday. The future is particularly dire for certain species living in high elevations, said the study, published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE. The yellow honeycreeper known as 'Akeke'e, the gray Akikiki bird and a rare songbird known as Puaiohi could lose all of their current range, said the study. Three others, including the Maui parrotbill, the...

European birdwatchers unravel how birds respond to climate change
2015-10-21 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] New details on how birds respond to climate change have been revealed by volunteer bird watchers all over Europe. The information they've gathered shows birds respond to changing conditions in different seasons of the year. While some species benefit from these changes, birds that are adapted to colder regions stand to lose. This knowledge can help predict future bird communities in Europe and focus the effort to tackle the effects of climate change on the most vulnerable species….

Climate change latest threat to endemic birds
2015-10-11 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hawaii Tribune Herald: Hawaii Islands endemic bird populations have been pressured for centuries because of disease, habitat loss, predation and loss of prey. Recent work by biologists at the United States Geologic Survey Pacific Island Ecosystem Research Center indicates climate change also could threaten the populations as rising temperatures create conditions that allow mosquitoes -- vectors for avian malaria and avian pox -- to thrive at previously inaccessible elevations. The pattern already has been observed...
