In 2006 we conducted our second and final pilot field season to field-test and refine our Draft North Coast and Cascades Network Landbird Monitoring Protocol. The protocol requires annual survey effort consisting of an annual panel (34 transects) plus an alternating panel (another 34 transects) in the large parks—Mount Rainier National Park (MORA), North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA), or Olympic National Park (OLYM) —and the completion of a grid of survey points at either of the smaller parks—San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH) or Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI)—which will be surveyed in alternating years. However, for this pilot year we reduced the effort and surveyed only the annual panel of transects in the large parks as well as the full survey grid at LEWI. Comprehensive results from the LEWI surveys are provided in a separate report (Siegel et al. 2009, see IRMA reference code 643960). In the three large parks, we completed surveys at 446 point count stations arrayed along 33 transects
