The 117th Christmas Bird Count is now over. As usual in January, I will discuss the highlights of some of the Maine counts. These standardized censuses provide an important tool to monitor the abundance of winter birds throughout North America and beyond.
I’ll concentrate on changes in regularly wintering birds, the arrival of unpredictable invaders and records of lingering birds whose wintering areas are well to our south. A rarity or two may pop up as well.

If resources become scarce then the species with better traits might take up all the resources of a species which are not better adapted. This will cause the species with unfavourable traits to become extinct. To survive in an environment, an organism needs to change and adapt according to the conditions of the environment. Otherwise, the species will become extinct.

Fires, volcanoes, and weathering
