Birds rely on riparian areas of SE Utah and the Colorado Plateau. As the ecosystems change along the banks of these rivers, there is real impact on bird populations and species. Sean Mahoney, PhD candidate at Northern Arizona University, speaks with us about his work with birds that inhabit and migrate through the rivers of the Colorado Plateau. We talk about how they are being affected as climate, water levels, and changing plant species leave their mark on the banks of these rivers.
