White-tailed tropicbirds are a conspicuous and beloved sign of spring in Bermuda, where the species returns each year to nest. But long-term records kept by birdwatchers show that the birds have been returning earlier and earlier. By Rebecca Heisman. hakaimagazine.com/news/in-berm...

"Instead of being heralds of spring, these birds are potentially becoming harbingers of changes occurring in the nearby ocean" hakaimagazine.com/news/in-berm... Great piece by @rheisman.bsky.social in @hakaimagazine.com about our research on early arrivals of tropicbirds at Bermuda since 1953!
