Birds Are Vanishing From North America Even More Now

Two things that are causing birds and insects to die. Insects are vunerable to the new technologies like 5G radio masts, cloud spraying etc. The insect population drops and the birds starve.

I saw this decline reported in numbers in the NZ newspapers today. It is shocking how many species have suffered substantial reduction to a serious degree. North America surely has a chance to learn from this quickly, take the message on board and stop the destruction and disappearance of beautiful birds. Or do nothing...

It is deeply concerning.

We see it here. It seems like some sort of electronic weapon bei b used... As even our bumble bees are suffering. I live in a testing area. We are the first to notice what effects things, and while at times they used things which killed off masses of seabirds and fish, and our insects (Even our ants died).... The bumble bees and moths seemed to be uneffected. But now the bumble bees are being effected.
Talking about bees. A neighbour had a few swarms die... She kept replacing tjem... All the other local bee keepers were the same. As the neighbour is not short of money, each time she sent the bees up to be analysed, and no usual signs were found... So it was most likely one of the many experiments they were doing. We have had the walls of our house vibrating every night for months in the past when they were using directed energy beams. It looks like ho houses are up here from where they do the experiments, so they assumed it was safe to beam things this way. In the early 1990's they were experimenting with pointing lazers this way which was concerning! We saw gaps in the hedges!

climate change lowers insect populations which lowers bird population....

What do birds eat all the cold months there are almost no insects around?

They go south for the winter.

I can speak for Australia where birds switch from flying insects to wood borers (trees) and crawlers beneath the soil (a lot of flying insects have larvae which crawl around plus with the rains the soil become waterlogged and I see plenty of birds sitting on lawns waiting for the crawlers to emerge. Good source of food.

In North America, and in Europe, they "go south for the winter". European birds go as far south as sub-Saharan Africa, and US birds winter in Central America, and even in South America.

So I'm not a biologist but people need to realise there's multiple populations of birds

There's forest dwellers usually autochthonous to the region who don't migrate anywhere (these birds survive on creepy crawlies in the winter months)

There's introduced pesky species (pigeons, crows, minah birds, sparrows) who happily eat food man leaves around (they don't have to leave).

There's water/waders who migrate north in Australia and south in America during the winter months, their food source is aquatic insects and fish

Finally there is insectivorous species (this whom Natural plastic is referring to) who migrate seasonally to chase flying insects.

So how is a warmer climate decreasing the insect population?

I take that means you don't know.

Birds have well known migration paths and feeding spots. Birders take advantage of this and publish guides on the best places to see birds.

Absolutely. There are well know migration paths birds take. Birders take advantage of strategic mountains (there is some mountain here in Maryland that's good for seeing hawks in migration season) to bird watch.

Whole nations are effected.

The storks of Europe fly a route that takes them around the east end of the Sahara to reach the savannahs of east Africa. This places them and other large birds through a bottleneck around the eat end of the Mediterranean. The Israelie airforce is always plagued by it planes colliding with migrating birds because so many storks and geese etc funnel into Israeli airspace as they journey south to Africa along the narrow corridor around the Sahara.

A measurable portion of bird deaths can be attributed to cats, both ferrel and inconsiderate cat owners who allow their pets to roam outdoors. Cats are skilled hunters and will hunt even when not hungry.
