Wrangell St. Elias, America’s largest national park, is home to four major mountain ranges, the second highest peak in the U.S., one of largest active volcanoes in North America, and massive glaciers. The park’s climate could become less suitable for 32 bird species by 2050, for instance the Say’s Phoebe and Smith’s Longspur; the latter could be extirpated in the park over the coming decades. Meanwhile, the park’s climate could become more suitable for 42 species, such as the Sharp-tailed Grouse and the Red-breasted Nuthatch. It is recommended that park managers focus on monitoring programs to identify changes in bird communities.
