Born of volcanic action, California’s Pinnacles National Park is a unique landscape that remains highly adaptable to a warming climate. While the winter rains that feed the park’s chaparral and streamside vegetation may ebb, the park’s climate may remain suitable for a large part of the park’s birds. This includes the park’s most well-known species, the endangered California Condor. Other species that might continue to find suitable climate include the Peregrine Falcon, Red-tailed Hawk, and Turkey Vulture. Other popular park species—such as the California Quail and Western Tanager—may struggle to find suitable climate in the increasingly dry conditions. It is recommended that managers at the park help these species by supporting native habitat and maximizing the value of water habitat.
