How are Landbird Populations Doing in the North Coast and Cascades Network?
NCCN. 2020. How are Landbird Populations Doing in the North Coast and Cascades Network?. National Park Service
Since 2006, the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP) has been actively monitoring the landbird populations in the North Coast and Cascade Network national parks. This ongoing long-term record of bird observations has provided some encouraging results, with two recently published studies showing generally stable populations. In the three wilderness parks, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks, only six species showed declines; all other species were stable or increasing. And in the two small historical parks where landbirds are monitored, Lewis and Clark and San Juan Island National Historical Parks, only three species were in decline.
