A drought hits the habitat of a semiequatic bird population. All ponds dry up

. How might this affect the semiequatic bird population?

The drought and subsequent drying up of all ponds would likely have a significant impact on the semiequatic bird population. These birds rely on wetland habitats for food and nesting, and without access to water, they may struggle to find enough resources to survive. They would likely be forced to move to other areas in search of water or food, or in the worst case, some birds may not survive the drought. This could result in a decline in the population or even local extinction of the species in that habitat.
