Arches National Park, located in eastern Utah near the Colorado River, is a high-desert environment with riparian corridors and ephemeral pools that comprise important habitat for birds that live in or migrate through the arid landscape. By 2050, 16 bird species, including the Yellow-breasted Chat and Great Blue Heron which currently congregate around streams, could be extirpated in summer. The park鈥檚 climate could become suitable for 50 new species in winter, including several woodpecker species more typical of the arid open country of the southwest. It is recommended that park managers monitor data on the discharge of springs to prioritize sites for protection and restoration.
