Abstract: Based on the meteorological data of Dafeng station from 1960 to 2007 and the phonological phase for two kinds of migrants such as barn swallow(Hirundo rustica) and indian cuckoo(Cuculus micropterus) during 1989-2007 and 1995-2007.The climate change and response of two kinds of migrants to climate changes were analyzed,by using the statistics,multiple stepwise regression and M-K abrupt analysis method.The results showed that the annual average temperature increased at the rate of 0.18℃ per decade(P<0.01),and abrubt change occurred during 2004 to 2005.The annual average wind speed reduced significantly(P<0.01).The sunshine duration and the annual precipitation changed no significant(P>0.05).The initial immigration period(IIP) for barn swallow and starting warble phase(SWP) for indian cuckoo were advanced.The duration between SWP and halting warble phase(HWP) of barn swallow was significantly extended,as indian cuckoo was shortened at the rate 20.2d per decade.The main climate factors,which affected IIP and the duration between IIP for barn swallow and HIP for indian cuckoo were different.But in general,phenology of migrants was very sensitive to climate change,which could consider as the indicator of climate change.
