Katmai National Park and Preserve in southwest Alaska is known for its brown bears, but natural wonders in the park abound. Like many places in Alaska, Katmai鈥檚 landscape is experiencing climate impacts from changes in snow cover to lake ice cover to glacial thinning and retreat, and other impacts will extend to its birds. 21 species could colonize the park as the climate changes over the next 30 years. Meanwhile, the park鈥檚 climate suitability is expected to worsen for 35 species, potentially resulting in these birds going extinct within the park by 2050. It is recommended that park managers prepare for an influx of bird species and closely monitor species that are at risk of extirpation from the park.
