Climate Change and Urbanization Create a “Double Whammy” for Many Birds in Los Angeles

Climate change isn't the only threat facing California's birds. Over the course of the 20th century, urban sprawl and agricultural development have dramatically changed the landscape of the state, forcing many native species to adapt to new and unfamiliar habitats.
