Not the baseball team. The bird. Wouldn't it be something if orioles were no longer found in Maryland? Take a look:
Scientists say the state bird of Maryland, the Baltimore oriole, has been moving north while the state bird of Louisiana, the brown pelican, finds Maryland's climate appealing, The Washington Post reported.
About 1,000 brown pelican chicks hatched in Maryland last year while the Oriole might be forced to shift its territory north as Maryland warms.
"We certainly know that we've been experiencing climate change impacts," said Bill Dennison of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
Sad.
