Database of 122 Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) demographic monitoring stations that operated for four or more years in the period 1992-2008 throughout Washington, Oregon and northern California. Cluster analysis (Ward's-K) of capture data (individual birds) from these stations revealed six distinct avian communities classified by forest type and condition that correspond to the distribution of USDA/FIA Forest Group classifications. This figure is provided courtesy Phil Nott at the Institute for Bird Populations (Nott 2011, draft) from research funded by USFS Region Six and the Bureau of Land Management.
