'This report summarizes data collected in 2007 and 2008.' The Northeast Temperate Network (NETN) of the National Park Service is tasked with monitoring a suite of representative indicators, called vital signs, of natural resource condition for 12 parks in seven northeastern states and the Appalachian NST. Breeding birds were chosen as one of the NETN vital signs because they are a reliable indicator of ecosystem integrity and they are a high profile taxonomic group. Birds are also easily detected and identified, and well established survey methods are available. This report pertains only to breeding bird monitoring in 11 of the NETN parks (Figure 1). /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Giant Slide Trail/Seal Cove East/Seal Cove Center/SCHOODIC PENINSULA/
