News and Observer: North Carolinas bright summertime landscape of songbirds, seabirds, and even game birds such as wild turkeys may be in for some drastic changes as the 21st century wears on. The climate change predicted by many scientists to accelerate rapidly is likely to have many species leaving home in search of cooler, more hospitable climes.

RedOrbit: More than half of the bird species in North America, including the bald eagle and the official birds of eight US states, are being seriously threatened by global climate change, the National Audubon Society revealed in a new report published on Tuesday.

An additional 188 species will experience more than 50 percent...
