Great Tits Cope Well With Warming

I am NOT making this up! From the BBC:

At least one of Britain’s birds appears to be coping well as climate change alters the availability of a key food.

Researchers found that great tits are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars.

Writing in the journal Science, they point out that the same birds in the Netherlands have not managed to adjust.

Well? What did you think the story would be about?

(Just waiting for Rob to tell me the story just ain’t right without pictures!)

I do not believe that birds can predict caterpillars’ gestation period.  What is observed are birds that survive.  None of this has anything to do with human activity.

Hmmm! My thought was:

I’d better hurry to beat Anna to it!


Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

I don’t recall having seen either the article or any great tits lately.  But I’m sure I would have been on the lookout if I’d know there were any around.
