Bird migration [SEP] Climate change
Large scale climatic changes are expected to have an effect on the timing of migration. Studies have shown a variety of effects including timing changes in migration, breeding as well as population declines. Many species have been expanding their range as a likely consequence of climate change. This is sometimes in the form of former vagrants becoming established or regular migrants. Currently legislation and protection mechanisms have been slow to recognise the concept of range-shifts from climate refugee birds. In September 2020,large avian mortality during migration was reported in the south western states of USA. About hundred thousand Flycatchers, swallows and warblers were estimated to have died around August and September declaring it as a national tragedy by the ornithologists.
