Of the 588 bird species surveyed, 314 are at risk for losing significant amounts of their habitat to a changing climate."Birds are a good barometer of the overall health and wellbeing of the natural systems we depend on for food, water, and clear air," Audubon chief scientist Gary Langham wrote in an email.
