Zion National Park, located in the southwest corner of Utah, is an Important Bird Area, and offers a range of bird habitats that include river banks, evergreen forest, cliffs, and desert. Park visitors can expect to continue seeing iconic species such as the Golden Eagle and Peregrine Falcon at Zion even as the climate changes. However, other beloved birds may be extirpated from the park, including Red-breasted Nuthatches, Red Crossbills, and Yellow Warblers. Average temperatures have already increased at the park and this makes water even more scarce for plants and animals that live in the arid climate. Depending on available resources, the park may be colonized by birds like Eastern Meadowlarks and Gila Woodpeckers.
