Cornell Researchers Addresses Climate Impact on Bird Migrations | The Cornell Daily Sun: "The pattern between winter weather and bird migration seems to be common knowledge: birds fly south for the winter. But how does climate really limit bird distributions and what changes have scientists seen as global climate patterns continue to fluctuate?

Prof. Benjamin Zuckerberg, ornithology, attempted to answer these questions. In his lecture March 2 in Fernow Hall, Zuckerberg discussed the link between climate and bird occupancy. A bird occupancy pattern describes the settlement of birds in different locations as they migrate throughout the year."
