Redwood Sciences Laboratory
The RSL in Arcata, California, is a field research facility of the USDA Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Research Station. Bird monitoring research has been an ongoing effort since wildlife research began at the laboratory in 1982. In the last 25 years, more than two million censuses, captures, and field evaluations of birds and their habitats have been conducted, primarily in northern California and southern Oregon in the Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion. RSL has also been a leader in research on Marbled Murrelets in both offshore foraging and onshore nesting habitats.
