NEIGHBORHOOD BIRD PROJECT Toby Ross, Seattle Audubon Society, Science Manager C.J. Battey, University of Washington Dept. of Biology & Burke Museum, Graduate Student

HISTORY 1994 Carkeek Park Discovery Park Golden Gardens Magnuso n Park

What are the trends in avian diversity & abundance? What has been the impact of habitat restoration activities? Provide recommendati ons for future restoration efforts.

CONCLUSIONS 1.NBP data was successful, and cost- effective, in recording broad-scale trends in avian diversity and abundance in Seattle City Parks. 2.Grounds for cautious optimism as to the status of avian communities in Seattle City Parks. Invasive and human-associated species in decline. Riparian birds, woodpeckers, and warblers increasing or holding steady. Photo courtesy of Greg Lavaty

RECOMMENDATIONS 1.Need for continued monitoring and adaptive management across the parks. Neighborhood Bird Project 2.Methodological recommendations Sampling protocols Survey training practices Point locations
