Birds are excellent indicators of environmental change in ecosystems. The woodland and restored prairie habitat at Homestead National Historical Park supports a wide array of bird species. The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network monitors birds on the park to understand how the bird community is doing and how birds respond to changes in their habitat. Bell's Vireo and Red-headed Woodpecker are species of concern in the region.
