First came global warming. Then hurricanes. Then more migratory bird deaths? - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
New research shows that in some places, global warming may mean that more severe weather is causing fewer birds to survive their epic migrations over the Gulf of Mexico or up the East Coast of the US. Storms either kill them outright or send them way off course, such as when dead White-tailed Tropicbirds, native to Bermuda, were found in New Hampshire, after Hurricane Irene. Researchers term such mass deaths "bird wrecks."
