Magnetic Shift and Birds?

I happened to note the other day that a runway (Aircraft) was being re-designated by the FAA, in I think La.  The article noted "due to magnetic shift".

Since I'm a Pilot, it piqued my interest, and I found that it's occurring all over, 'the World'! 

Below is a sample  Q&A at an Aviation Site.  

"ORD Ready To "Rename" Runway 9R/27L To 10R/28L — Civil Aviation ...

The closer you are to the poles, the bigger the effect is from magnetic shift and the more "often" (note the quotes) runways will be redesignated. Runway re-designations are however ..."

Rather than go into very technical aspects of aviation navigation I'll just comment that there are "Magnetic Variation" factors that are applied as you navigate, IF you navigate these days (due to GPS units). They are noted on your Charts.

It appears that 'Possibly' the polar shift has increased in recent years, and my thoughts run to whales, porpoises, other sea creatures beaching, if that is the cause. But now we're seeing Birds, that Navigate much the same way, having problems.

Any body got thoughts on this?

The magnetic north pole - the spot that compasses point to - is always wandering, and in a sort of seemingly random curlycue around the geographic north pole like the trail of a spinning top. For the past century it has been working its way north, in the northernmost extremities of Canada, evidently shifting by an inch or so every hour, heading over the Artice Circle to Russia.

But the accumulated effect, over the last few decades, is that this makes a difference to pilots and airports, who identify their runways by the relation to a magnetic compass. So Tampa Airport is changing the designation numbers of its runways to compensate for the accumulated shift. It's not building any new runway it's just changing the "names" of its existing runways so they can be accurately identified by pilots.

Since this wandering of the magnetic pole has been going on forever, I strongly doubt that it has anything to do with strange bird behavior.

Ageed. Here's a good Novel on the subject, taken to extremes ---

Polar Shift
by Clive Cussler
Published in USA Aug 2005,
448 pages.

Publication information

BOOK SUMMARY

Polar shift: It is the name for a phenomenon that may have occurred many times in the past. At the very least, it disorients birds and animals and damages electrical equipment. At its worst, it causes massive eruptions, earthquakes, and climatic changes. At its very worst, it would mean the obliteration of all living matter, and if that happens - exit Earth.....Austin, Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA Special Assignments Team certainly have faced dire situations before, but never have they encountered anything like this. This time . . . even they may be too late.
