The common loon is one of the 314 North American bird species predicted to be endangered by global warming.

According to a new report from the Audubon Society, there could be a lot fewer birds to watch at your bird feeder in the near future. Global warming is likely to endanger roughly 314 North American bird species, including the common loon, the wild turkey, the bald eagle and even the Vermont state bird, the Hermit Thrush.

Another study, The State of the Birds 2014, claims that conservation could be the best solution for slowing the decline of North American bird species.

We talk about birds and climate change… and of course, the fall migration, with Bird Diva Bridget Butler.
