A virtual scrapbook chronicling a historic year in the local community is now live. ‘Moab’s Year of Pandemic Living’ was put together by the Grand County Public Library, and features entries from community members of all ages sharing their photos, poems, and drawings about how their life changed over the past year. Plus, the Lower Colorado River Basin is preparing for its first-ever water shortage declaration. And, a new study shows last year’s wildfires may have played a larger role in the 2020 mass die-off of migratory birds across the western United States than previously thought.
