How the drought is effecting birds
The California drought is severely effecting the birds.
Wetland Birds
Water birds are loosing their habitat because of the drought. These wetlands are receiving less water. This makes the birds mad and leave their habitat for better resources and life. Food resources in the wetlands have become scarce.
Agriculture Habitats
The birds are not surviving in the farmlands due to farming practices.
Salinity
Lakes like Mono Lake, Owens Lake and the Salton Sea host millions of migratory shore birds that rely on the shrimp and brine fly. The narrow window of salinity that the drought has caused has turned the habitat upside down.
Birds are nesting elsewhere because of the drought. The grass they need to nest are dead.
Hurry Up Rain and Get Here!
