Not sure of the scope of Sue's question.  This may be the only research paper 
based on our local first arrival dates, but there are many, perhaps hundreds of 
articles on spring arrival dates and climate change/global warming.  Is Sue 
specifically interested in local data?

Hello,

   The only relevant research paper that I can think of using bird club-related 
data is this one:

 Butler, C. J. 2003. The disproportionate effect of global warming on the 
arrival dates of short-distance migratory birds in North America. Ibis 
145:484-495.

that made use of the weekly readings of the lists to look at long-term changes 
in arrival dates of migrants in spring into Ithaca (a second data set of a 
similar type was also used in the paper from MA, if I remember).  While the 
paper doesn't talk about changes in abundance, the climate-related link is via 
changes in timing of migration.

Wesley

For those who may be interested, Sue Heavenrich has written an article about 
this Guide and it appears in this week's Tompkins County Weekly.  A good 
overview of the book. Here is a link to the pdf page.

http://www.tompkinshosting.com/tompkinsweekly/TompkinsWeekly120409.pdf

Also, she had emailed me with the following request which I forward in the 
event that someone may wish to help her with this. I am reluctant to just give 
out names of people to her without some expression of interest beforehand. If 
anyone does want to take this on, please email me and I will put you in touch 
with her.


Now I have another question for you - or maybe I already asked it & we didn't 
have time to explore:
Does anyone in the club have bird count numbers or data that might show 
whether/how bird populations have changed over past 35 years? Am working on 
something re: climate change & bird range expansion or northward expansion....
~Sue

Thanks in advance if  you can help out.
