About the Birds: With their wide migratory breadth and diverse use of habitats, songbirds can be clear indicators of climate change impacts, both at a regional and localized scale. The聽Chestnut-sided Warbler, a beloved forest species,聽is projected to lose all of its existing breeding range in the United States and Canada and shift into a smaller territory much farther north.聽 The聽Hermit Warbler聽may be pushed to higher altitudes in its slim Pacific range along the coast and in the mountains. Orchard Orioles, meanwhile, may find new breeding territory聽as they expand farther into Canada and stop in southern Florida for the winter.聽Veeries听补苍诲听Wood Thrushes聽both prefer moist woodlands that could become increasingly scare with climate change. 爆料公社鈥檚 models show them聽moving into coniferous boreal forests聽as more than half of the area where they currently breed becomes unsuitable. Finally, the聽Yellow-bellied Flycatcher鈥檚 forecast shows it potentially swapping sphagnum bogs for the Arctic taiga聽in summer.

About the Artist:聽A multimedia artist from New York City, has been crafting聽public pieces since childhood, initially through graffiti and eventually as a muralist, musician, and fine artist. He continues a mix of聽creative practices and development of various visual languages. His work has been shown internationally from MOCA in Los Angeles to Tehran.聽Most of the species featured in this mural may pass through Forest Park each year, a deliberate choice by Cern.
