By Sophia Lada Capital News Service Migratory bird patterns are shifting as temperatures increase in North America, leaving birds to find new sources of food and adjust to the warmer climate, according to a new study  Erin Rowan, a senior conservation associate with Chicago-based Audubon Great Lakes and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, said some birds arrive in Michigan earlier than normal because of “false springs,” a consequence of climate change. “Availability of their habitat and food and how that has played a role in when they depart their wintering grounds and arrive on their breeding grounds is shifting due to climate change,” she said.
