The article by Duke University doctorate  Danica Schaffer-Smith “Satellites reveal bird habitat loss in California” a study was conducted about the rapid decrease of habitat location for shoreside birds in the Sacramento Valley in California. Smith states the drought in California the is a direct effect on the rapid decline of the shoreside bird population. She states that the freshwater that the birds need to survive is becoming more and more of a struggle for them which causes migration to be much more difficult for the birds. They explain how most of the freshwater from the wetlands that connect to the San Francisco Bay-Delta is being used for agricultural purposes. It is being conserved in reservoirs and moved to small canals and ditches. The recent change in climate has also not benefited the shoreside birds because the inconsistencies of the weather have affected the migration and the water abundance.  The strange weather patterns have also changed the rainfall that the birds need to rest and feed. The tone is extremely urgent and used mainly to inform the reader about this unknown epidemic. How do you guys think we can solve this sudden change for these animals?
