Early spring and shifting seasons

Scientists say spring is arriving nearly two weeks earlier than it did a century ago, which is changing when birds migrate and wildflowers bloom.

Los científicos dicen que la primavera está llegando casi dos semanas antes de lo que lo hizo hace un siglo, lo que está cambiando cuándo migran las aves y florecen las flores silvestres.

Cultural Context

Climate researchers in the US have observed that spring now arrives nearly two weeks earlier than 100 years ago — affecting when migratory birds arrive, when leaves emerge, and when wildflowers bloom. The shift has cascading effects on entire ecosystems, from insects to predators.
