Thanks for showing us

These birds are beautiful, didn't realize what they go through to survive.

Devastating 😞 but WOW

[@simonsaysism]

Why don't the birds adjust the timing of their migration in response to warmer temps? Are they taking their cues from the earth's magnetic field or something else unaffected by climate change? Edit: Just googled it, they use the period of daylight hours

[@mckenzie2002]

Also, it’s not that they can’t adapt, it’s that the climate is changing faster than they can but nature finds ways to surprise us with it’s resiliency 🦅🦉
