Landbird inventory within Mount Rainier National Park, 2003-2004. The Institute for Bird Populations (IBP) collaborated with personnel at Mount Rainier National Park to initiate a Park-wide inventory of landbirds. The goals of the inventory were to estimate habitat-specific density and park-wide abundance for a large suite of species, and to produce information that will assist park managers and cooperators in designing the park's long-term landbird monitoring program. During our two field seasons (2003 and 2004), we counted 6,026 individual birds during 969 point counts conducted along 134 transects. Transects were well distributed across the park. We documented 95 bird species (including the Hermit-Townsend‘s Warbler hybrid) in the park during the field season. Seventy-eight of these species were detected during at least one point count, while the remaining 17 were recorded as incidental observations only at times other than during point counts. We also conducted detailed habitat assessments at each of the 969 survey points.
