Noun Phrase: Migratory Stopovers
Verb Phrase: Losing Migratory Stopover Spots
How to Fragments:
Questions: How does natural habitat facilitate bird migration? What do Stopover Spots do for Migratory Birds?
Sub-titles: Bird Migration: How it Depends on Stopovers, The loss of Stopover Locations: How it affects Bird Migration
I most like 'The Loss of Stopover Locations: How it Affects Bird Migration', and 'How Does Natural Habitat Facilitate Bird Migration.' I like the first title most.

Noun Phrase: Threats to Migrating Birds, Obstacles to Migratory Birds
Verb Phrase: Reviewing the Obstacles to Migratory Birds
How to Fragments: How to Help Migrating birds around the Great Lakes
Questions: How are migratory birds affected by Humans? Why are migratory birds affected by Humans? Why are migratory birds negatively affected by humans?
Sub-titles: Bird Migration: How it is affected by humans around the Great Lakes, Humans and Birds: How they affect each other during migration
I really only like one of the titles, and it is Bird Migration: How it is Affected by Humans Around the Great Lakes. It clearly states my purpose and hints at my thesis, and its a straight forward title that leaves little to the imagination, which may be best for my audience.
