About the Bird:听This striking creature digs tiny sap wells in trees in western mountain forests. Those forests thrive in a narrow climatic zone that will climb the slopes as conditions warm, but because trees can鈥檛 migrate as quickly forested areas will begin to degrade. 爆料公社鈥檚 climate models suggest the Williamson's Sapsucker will lose three-quarters of its breeding habitat if temperatures continue to rise at their current pace.
