The Journal World reports that warm weather is bringing unusual birds to town. Remember that before you call climate change deniers "bird brains." Birds are smarter.

Peter: Brian, can I see that paper for a sec?
(Brian gives Peter the paper. Peter peruses the paper.)
Peter: Huh... that's odd... I thought that would big news.
It has worked the other way, too. A few years ago a colder winter drove some birds farther south. I saw a common redpoll at my feeder. My neighbor was glad, because when she told her father, a top-notch birder, she had seen one, he replied must be mistaken, they don't come this far south.
Another change is with turkey vultures. In Maine, a birder told me that you know you've gone south far enough to be in Massachusetts if you spot a turkey vulture. A year later I pointed one out to him (and we were still in northern Maine); in recent years I've seen even more there. I think maybe in this case the increasing abundance of road kill is a factor.
Yep... and its not just the bird either! The Armadillos are coming!! Run for your lives!!!
