Description
In 2009 we completed the third year of full implementation for the landbird monitoring project in the North Coast Cascades Network (NCCN). The NCCN landbird monitoring protocol requires annual survey effort consisting of an annual panel (34 transects distributed among Mount Rainier National Park [MORA], North Cascades National Park Service Complex [NOCA], and Olympic National Park [OLYM]) plus one of five alternating panels (an additional 34 transects distributed throughout MORA, NOCA, and 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). SAJH and LEWI are to be surveyed in alternating years. In 2009 we surveyed the annual panel and the third alternating panel in the large parks, along with the point grid in San Juan Island National Historical Park.
