National Capital Region Network Resource Brief: NCR's Forest Interior Birds
Tait N and Nortrup M. 2023. National Capital Region Network Resource Brief: NCR's Forest Interior Birds. National Capital Region Network, Inventory & Monitoring
Explore how forest interior breeding birds are faring in National Capital Region (NCR) parks. These species prefer the shadiest and quietest core of the forest landscape and are excellent indicators of a healthy forest ecosystem. We look at data on wood thrush, ovenbird, Kentucky warbler, Louisiana waterthrush, hooded warbler, and scarlet tanager from a report summarizing population trends for forest birds in NCR parks.
