Biologists from the Utah Department of Natural Resources have been monitoring the birds since 2019.

Will Utahns need to adapt to a smaller, dustier salt lake? Or can the watershed unite to reverse its decline?

Utah has allocated $3 million of ongoing funds to encourage people to rip out their grass for water-wise alternatives.
