<p>As residents of the Caribbean struggle to recover from series of hurricanes over the past two months, so do the islandsâ feathered friends. The high winds, heavy rains, and flooding that wrecked so many homes and businesses also posed serious threats to wildlife.</p></div>
<div class="parbase smartbody section text">
<p>Preliminary reports indicate that some populations of birds experienced a far greater impact from the hurricanes than others. A breeding colony of more than 50,000 <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.org/media/photo-ark-american-flamingo/">American flamingoes</a> (<i>Phoenicopterus ruber</i>) managed to evacuate the island of Inagua before the arrival of Hurricane Irma, and conservationists have reported their return.</p></div>
<div class="parbase smartbody section text">
<p>In the Cayo Coco Cays of Cuba, however, biologists have spotted thousands of dead birds. On the hard-hit islands of Puerto Rico and Barbuda, wildlife impacts are still unclear as residents cope with the immediate humanitarian crisis. (<a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/proof/2017/09/exclusive-photos-capture-destruction-across-puerto-rico/">See exclusive aerial photos of the destruction in Puerto Rico.</a>)</p></div>
<div class="parbase smartbody section text">
<p>Bird species in the Caribbean have long faced severe tropical weather. But many bird species, including the black-capped petrel and the Puerto Rico parrot, in the region are already teetering on the edge of extinction, and an increase in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes could make it harder for them to recover.</p></div>
<div class="parbase smartbody section text">
<p>âSome of these birds may previously have been able to bounce back, but their resilience may have been diminished,â says <a href="https://abcbirds.org/about/staff/">Dan Lebbin</a>, vice president of international programs at the American Bird Conservancy.</p></div>

<h2><span style="font-weight: normal;">Blown away</span></h2></div>
<div class="parbase smartbody section text">
<p>Like humans, many birds try to get away when they sense an approaching storm. As Hurricane Harvey approached the Texas Gulf Coast, radar picked up the mass exodus of many of the regionâs shorebirds ahead of the storm. (Read <a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/09/hurricane-irma-harvey-season-climate-change-weather/">why this hurricane season has been so catastrophic</a>.)</p></div>
<div class="parbase smartbody section text">
<p>Birds at sea may simply try to fly around the storm. The size of some of these hurricanes â Irma was more than 400 miles wide at its peak â can make it difficult for birds to escape them. In that case, birds caught in the storm can be blown hundreds of miles off course.</p></div>

<p>Ellis believes that the booby was caught in the winds of Hurricane Jose and blown hundreds of miles away from its likely home in the Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, the bird ultimately didn't survive the journeyâit arrived waterlogged, starving, and suffering from a severe fungal infection. Despite efforts to save it, Wild Care announced, the booby died overnight Monday. &quot;We certainly tried our best,&quot; Ellis said on the group's Facebook page. &quot;His condition was grim from the beginning.&quot;</p></div>

<p>Both Ellis and Lebbin say that the storm threats to birds are similar to those that we humans tend to worry about. For those birds (and humans) that canât get out of the way of the oncoming storm, the priority is to find shelter. The flamingoes that couldnât leave Inagua survived thanks to nearby mangroves. So did <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.org/media/reddish-egret/">reddish egrets</a> (<i>Egretta rufescens</i>) near Sanibel Island in Florida.</p></div>

<p>Even in these hideaways, birds have to dodge debris and rising waters from flooding and storm surges. This hurricane damage also harms the birdsâ food supply. A powerful hurricane may strip all the fruit from a tree, leaving it so stressed it may not fruit again the next year. For birds that rely on this for food, a hurricane like Irma or Maria could mean the start of several very lean years.</p></div>
<div class="parbase smartbody section text">
<p>The recent spate of storms also reduced or eliminated important conservation infrastructure, including the offices of the conservation group <a href="http://epicislands.org/index.html">Environmental Protection in the Caribbean</a> on the island of St. Maarten. For rare and endangered species like the black-capped petrel (<i>Pterodroma hasitata</i>) and the Puerto Rican parrot (<i>Amazona vittata</i>), this loss may be felt for years to come due to a diminished ability to protect habitat and rescue sick or injured birds.</p></div>
<div class="parbase smartbody section text">
<p>Despite this, Lebbin is âcautiously optimisticâ about the survival of bird species in the Caribbean, adding, âTheyâve evolved to survive hurricanes for millions of years.â</p></div>
