Chatham Weather: Migratory Birds and Amphibians on the Move
In Chatham, Massachusetts, the arrival of spring is marked by the movement of various migratory birds and amphibians. According to the Cape Cod Chronicle, species such as orioles, catbirds, ruby-throated hummingbirds, herons, egrets, and terns are beginning to arrive from warmer regions. This seasonal migration is a natural phenomenon, but climate change is causing disruptions in the timing and patterns of these movements. Amphibians like spotted salamanders, toads, and frogs are also active, gathering in large numbers during warm, wet nights. These migrations are crucial for the survival and reproduction of these species, but the changing climate poses challenges to their traditional patterns.
