So meausrements taken today can not conclude that what is observed now is the processes norm, or a deviation from normality. For all we know what we are seeing today maybe be the norm, and the migratory processes we have been familiar with (duck hunters) may have been an abnormal phases the process is now self correcting.

Astounding, to think observation of migratory patterns is only 50 years old is remarkable. You can even see the laws that were passed 110 years ago on the sale of wild game. Clearly they were observing something right? But no you have to go off of a national org start date to try and say that the impacts on migratory patterns are normal and will be fine. The things that changed climate before were once every 100,000 years volcano eruptions or meteors hitting the earth. Since the industrial revolution there have been no major events yet we have somehow raised changed the climate like one of those events only making it worse every year.

The climate does change but we are forcing the issue.
