How Climate Change Is Affecting Fall Migration Patterns

Every fall, billions of birds migrate across continents guided by ancient cues of temperature, food, and wind. As climate change accelerates, those cues are shifting—altering flight timing, routes, and survival. This EcoServants® feature explores how warmer autumns, erratic storms, and disrupted habitats are reshaping migration patterns and what conservationists can do to help safeguard these vital journeys.
