"abstract": "Fiscal year 2011 was the first year of implementing an approved elk monitoring protocol in \nMount Rainier (MORA) and Olympic (OLYM) National Parks in the North Coast and Cascades \nNetwork (NCCN) (Griffin et al. 2012). However, it was the fourth and second year of gathering \ndata according to protocol in MORA and OLYM respectively; data gathered during the protocol \ndevelopment phase followed procedures that are laid out in the protocol. Elk monitoring in these \nlarge wilderness parks relies on aerial surveys from a helicopter. Summer surveys are intended to \nprovide quantitative estimates of abundance, sex and age composition, and distribution of \nmigratory elk in high elevation trend count areas.\n\nAn unknown number of elk is not detected during surveys; however the protocol estimates the \nnumber of missed elk by applying a model that accounts for detection bias. Detection bias in elk \nsurveys in MORA is estimated using a double-observer sightability model that was developed \nusing survey data from 2008-2010 (Griffin et al. 2012). That model was developed using elk that \nwere previously equipped with radio collars by cooperating tribes. At the onset of protocol \ndevelopment in OLYM there were no existing radio-collars on elk. Consequently the majority of \nthe effort in OLYM in the past 4 years has been focused on capturing and radio-collaring elk and \nconducting sightability trials needed to develop a double-observer sightability model in OLYM. \nIn this annual report we provide estimates of abundance and composition for MORA elk, raw \ncounts of elk made in OLYM, and describe sightability trials conducted in OLYM.\n\nAt MORA the North trend count area was surveyed twice and the South once (North Rainier \nherd, and South Rainier herd). We counted 373 and 267 elk during two replicate surveys of the \nNorth Rainier herd, and 535 elk in the South Rainier herd. Using the model, we estimated that \n413 and 320 elk were in the North and 652 elk were in the South trend count areas during the \ntime of the respective surveys. \n\nAt OLYM, the Core and Northwest trend count areas were completely surveyed, as were \nportions of the Quinault. In addition, we surveyed 10 survey units specifically to get resight data. \nTwo-hundred and forty eight elk were counted in the Core, 19 in the Northwest, and 169 in the \nQuinault. We conducted double-observer sightability trials associated with 14 collared elk \ngroups for use in developing the double-observer sightability model for OLYM.",
