Just saw this item in The New York Times — a look at how climate change is expected to affect the official state birds in each state — including New Jersey's American Goldfinch.

Here's the nut graf:

"The research, released [today] by the National Audubon Society, projects that hundreds of bird species across North America are likely to drastically shift their ranges in the decades ahead in response to rising temperatures and other threats from climate change."

By focusing on specific birds in each state, it makes the threats posed by climate change much more tangible.
