Rainy weather predicts bird distribution-but climate change could disrupt it
(PHYSorg.com Biology)

Understanding what environmental cues birds use to time their annual migrations and decide where to settle is crucial for predicting how they`ll be affected by a shifting climate. A new study from The Auk: Ornithological Advances shows that for two species of flycatcher, one of the key factors is rain-the more precipitation an area receives, the more likely the birds are to be there during the non-breeding season.
