    • Counts of American Pikas and Hoary Marmots in North Cascades National Park 2016-2017

    Metadata Updated: November 27, 2025

    USGS scientists counted American pikas (Ochotona princeps) and hoary marmots (Marmota caligata) in North Cascades National Park, Washington, USA during 2016. Hoary marmots were resurveyed in 2017, primarily by the National Park Service. Surveys occurred at sites of previous studies by Jason Bruggeman (pikas - 2009-2013), Aidan Beers (pikas - 2013-2015), and Roger Christophersen (marmots - 2007-2008) and followed protocols implemented by these researchers. Data include animal counts, survey locations, and survey dates for all surveys conducted by USGS. Marmots are classified as adult, yearling, or juvenile for observations in which age was evident.
