Susceptible to Heat Waves
Plant species are not the only thing suffering from climate change. A Costa's Hummingbird is common in the Arizona and California deserts. It migrates in the spring to avoid the hot desert temperatures. Because of their small body, they dehydrate faster and are more vulnerable to heat. As global (including desert) temperatures rises, more desert birds are predicted to die off during the hotter times in the year.
