Bird Watching

Birds are significant components of biological diversity within the North Cascades ecosystem. Over 200 species in 38 families can be found in park habitats that range from alpine meadows to low-elevation forests and wetlands. Three species (bald eagle, marbled murrelet, and spotted owl) are listed as “threatened” under the federal Endangered Species Act. The marbled murrelet, although spending most of its life in a marine environment, nests in large trees of old-growth forests, making it one of the rarest birds around. The rivers, lakes, and streams of the North Cascades attract breeding, migrating, and wintering birds. The Stillaguamish and Skagit Rivers attract one of the largest wintering concentrations of bald eagles in the continental United States. Clear, fast-flowing rivers and streams also host breeding populations for numerous Harlequin ducks.
