Each year birds begin their migration from nesting grounds to overwintering areas as abundant sources of food begin to dwindle. However, two recent studies have shown that a shifting climate may alter bird migration patterns. This shift may lead to increased competition for resources between migratory birds and resident birds that never leave their homes, a statement explains. But the birds migrating west were all adults, and climate change may have rerouted the pipit's migration patterns. The team is planning on simulating the new migration patterns to understand how migration patterns may change over time.
