[Tweeters] Avian Migration: The Ultimate Red-Eye Flight | American Scientist

[Steve Hampton]

Wow -- Really great article that summarizes a number of issues around
migrating bird biology. Healthcare professionals will really appreciate it.

Thinking about birds and climate change, the article touches on photoperiod
(daylength), which seems to limit the ability of long-distance migrants to
adapt to climate change. Non-migratory birds, on the other hand, are not
limited by this.

BirdCast says last night was pretty good, so I'm out the door now to watch
these tired-not-so-tired migrants fatten up again for another red-eye
flight tonight!

good birding,
